  • Muffin Liners

Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs
  • 7 tablespoon Butter Melted
  • ¼ Cup Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • ½ Cup Greek Yogurt

  • 1 ½ Cup Flour Gluten free flour- see note

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F:  Meanwhile, melt your butter in a large bowl and then mix it with the sugars. You will then add the two eggs to the same bowl and mix them together. Add the vanilla and the greek yogurt, and continue to whisk together.
  • In a separate bowl: whisk together the dry ingredients (gluten free all purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder). Add half of the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and mix together, then add the buttermilk, and whisk. Once the lemon zest and juice is mixed in, add the poppy seeds and mix.

Notes

Gluten-Free Flour Blends: are not all created equal. My go-to for muffins is King Arthur’s Measure for Measure gluten free flour. I know that by using this that I will end up with a moist muffin. If that is not available near you, you can try Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1:1 Flour. I have not tried it with this flour but I know a lot of gluten free bakers who have success with their gluten free baking flour. Whatever flour blend you use, make sure your blend has xanthan gum in it.
