Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

I really needed some sweets. My husband made chocolate chip cookies and it's just torture! So I made some muffins using a recipe I found online I adapted the ingredients to fit MY recommended diet.

1 cup almond flour
1 cup whole wheat flour (or add additional almond flour)
1/2 cup Xylitol
2 Tbsp Poppyseeds
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3 Tbsp melted butter
1 tsp grated lemon rind
3 tsp lemon juice
8 oz plain yogurt
1 large beaten egg
Cold-pressed Olive Oil Cooking Spray

Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°.
Combine first 6 ingredients in a medium bowl; make a well in center of mixture. Combine oil, rind, juice, yogurt, and egg; stir well. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moist.
Spoon batter into each of 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 400° for 14 minutes or until golden. Remove muffins from pan immediately; place on a wire rack.


Maybe you can make these, maybe not, but that's up for you and your doctor approved diet. :) If you are not on the diet at all, then make them!!! They are super yummy and good for you too. Use another artificial sweetner or real sugar though if you can.

For those looking at the ingredient xylitol and thinking it's not good for you, I refer you to this site...

Here's my take, I would rather have a day of intestinal issues, get my sugar fix, and still maintain my candida lifestyle than cave completely and give in to the temptations. :)
