I feel like muffins the way I feel about men — there’s only one for me.
For my entire life I will live to love Mr. Making Life Sweet, and though it’s not a comparable kind of emotion, I will also live to love lemon poppy seed muffins — especially this new recipe for gluten-free lemon poppyseed muffins.
I’m not going to lie, I’ve botched a lot of baking recipes since going gluten-free. I’ve made cupcakes that ended up tasting like cardboard, and muffins that turned out hard as a rock. Let’s face it folks: baking, let alone gluten-free baking, is not always easy.
At the end of the day no matter how hard it is, however, I keep trying. No, gluten-free baking is usually not as pretty as traditional baking, but I’m telling you when you finally nail a recipe it might not look as spectacular but it tastes even better.
You probably noticed these lemon poppy seed muffins look a little more dense and rigid than ones you might see at the supermarket bakery. This is because they are made with a gluten-free, whole-grain flour blend and refined sugar-free. They are the clean cousin of the bakery muffin. You know what that means? Yes, you can eat one or even two of these for breakfast and feel good about it.
