Ingredients

  • 1 cup wholemeal flour
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • Zest and juice of 1 organic lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F and line with paper cups a large 12-cup muffin tin.
  • In a large bowl whisk the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with yogurt, coconut oil, honey, lemon zest, and juice until smooth.
  • Add the wet mixture over the dry and stir just until combined.
  • Divide the batter among your prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake for around 20-22 min, or until golden brown and the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking to avoid it browning on one side.
  • Allow the muffins to cool down on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • you may use other flour like oat flour in place of the whole meal flour
  • use any other oil in place of coconut oil
  • swap the honey for maple syrup or agave 
  • store on your kitchen counter covered for 2 days or in the fridge for up to one week
  • For a vegan option sub each egg with either one of the following: 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed with 3 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder, and 3 tablespoons water, 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup mashed banana, and swap the honey with maple syrup or agave.
