Whether for breakfast, snack, or dessert these gluten free sugar free lemon poppy seed muffins hit the spot.
Surprisingly, with so many lemon poppy seed muffin recipes out there, I have found none that only use stevia as sweetener. Sugar-Free Mom has a wonderful post explaining the different types of stevia and a conversion chart.
Sugar free does not have to be dry and crumbly, you just have to get the right combination of ingredients for that moist fluffy texture.
After several tries I finally perfected these moist lemony masterpieces. Although the ingredient list is a bit long and it’s important to let them rest for 30 minutes, these muffins are well worth the effort. Light and fluffy these gluten free sugar free lemon poppy seed muffins are just begging to be eaten.
