When you crave something sweet – but don’t want to spend too much time in the hot kitchen, try these easy fluffy muffins: Refreshing lemon juice, crunchy poppy & chia seeds, together with the lightness of almond flour – make the perfect summer dessert.
Now that I’m almost at the end of my “Yolk project,” it’s pretty natural to move on to the lemon one! It was the lemon pie that officially started the summer in the blog. (I will post the English version soon!)
These muffins are very easy to make: mix dry ingredients, mix wet ingredients, mix them together – transfer to the pan and straight to the oven!
Oh, and you can make a double amount and freeze.
Have a cool summer ❤️❤️❤️
