These tasty Sugar Free Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are as lovely to look at as they are to eat.
I like the wonderful color in addition to the lemon taste of these muffins as well.

This is the perfect sugar free breakfast muffin to make for a crown wanting something delicious to eat for breakfast.
However, these muffins would certainly make for a fabulous snack to eat as well.
 

I must say that I am partial to the usual standby muffins as they are always easy to both make and enjoy.
Blueberry and strawberry muffins would certainly be two kinds of the usual standby muffins.
However, there is nothing wrong with the lemon poppy seed variety of muffins either.

You may be wondering how we can get the lemon taste in these muffins.

Obviously, you could use lemon juice as it comes directly from the lemon itself right?
We will be using lemon juice in this recipe, as I would not want to let anyone down. By the way, you can easily find lemon juice online.

Just as important in this recipe could possibly be the poppy seeds.
Not everyone, me included, has poppy seeds sitting in their kitchen cupboard on a daily basis.
Having said that, poppy seeds are easy to come from if you are wanting to find poppy seeds online.

I recently read that you could make lemon poppy seed muffins from cake mix.

This would be a really cool recipe to try if there was actually a sugar free lemon cake mix that we could use to make the muffins with. But, sadly, I have yet to find a sugar free lemon cake mix to even make a cake with. Sigh.

I do like the idea of making my lemon poppy seed muffins healthy.
As a result, I will be making these lemon poppy seed muffins less unhealthy. Omitting the sugar, in my opinion, is one way to achieve this goal.
 

Muffins that are baking in the oven almost always fill a home with a great smell.

I suppose that we could easily describe the great smell as 'goodness'.
These lemony poppy seed muffins are certainly no exception to that goodness of smell. YAY!

However, I would also like to give a special kudos to those poppy seeds as well.
It is an easy task for you to give kudos to the poppy seeds once you bite into one of these muffins. This is because once you bite into a lush muffin and are lost in the taste of lemon, you are also met with the crunch of the poppy seeds.

I should also mention that these muffins are great in both mini size muffin sizes and jumbo sizes in addition to the normal sized muffins.

  • Baking Soda- 1 teaspoon.
  • Baking Powder- 2 teaspoons.
  • Sugar Alternative- equivalent to ¾ cup of sugar. I suggest a granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar for best results.
  • Butter- ½ cup melted. You can sub in vegetable or a similar oil.
  • Poppy Seeds- ¼ cup.
  • Greek Yogurt- 1 cup. Alternatively, you could use a flavored lemon yogurt, sour cream or a combination of any of these.

  • Vanilla Extract- 1 teaspoon.

  • Preheat your oven to 325 and prep your muffin pan for nonstick.
  • Start by whisking or sifting together the flour, baking soda and baking powder in a medium sized bowl. Set this bowl aside for the moment.
  • Next, in a mixing bowl, combine together the sugar alternative, butter, Poppy Seeds, Greek Yogurt, lemon zest and the lemon juice. The add the eggs one at a time, stirring between additions, and then the vanilla extract.
  • Once the wet ingredients have been well combined you can gently fold in the dry ingredients from the first bowl into the wet ingredients in the second bowl taking care to not over mix.
  • Bake your muffins for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
