Jaffa Lemon Muffins

Created for Jaffa by Samantha Hadadi

Dry Ingredients:

  • 3 x Jaffa Seedless Lemon (zested)
  • 2 x TBSP Poppyseeds
  • 2 x TSP Baking Powder
  • 1/4 x TSP Salt
  • 180g Wholegrain Spelt Flour
  • 30g Almond Flour

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 x Jaffa Seedless Lemon (juiced)
  • 2 x Large Eggs
  • 1 x TSP Vanilla Extract
  • 190g Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 70g Melted Coconut Oil
  • 150ml Honey
  • Few drops edible Lemon Oil
  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with a bit of coconut oil.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the spelt flour, almond flour, baking powder, zest, poppyseeds and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, lemon juice, lemon oil and vanilla until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, folding together until just combined. The batter should be uniform but not over-mixed to ensure the muffins stay tender.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate with icing sugar if desired.
  8. Enjoy!
