Lemon Poppy Seed Oat Muffins

These muffins are bright, tender, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat without tipping into cupcake territory. Blended oats give them a soft, wholesome base, and the poppy seeds add a pleasant little crunch. Make a batch on Sunday and your weekday mornings are sorted.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats, blended into flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup Duck River honey
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • ½ cup milk of choice
  • Juice and zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp Redmond Real Salt

*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment liners.
  2. Blend the oats in a blender until they reach a flour-like consistency.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, coconut oil, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla.
  4. Add the oat flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • The lemon zest is what gives these muffins their bright flavor, so do not skip it.
  • Store at room temperature for 2 days, in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for 2 months.
