Lemon Poppyseed Muffin-Tops

 

And another top of the muffin to you! Once I discovered the magical muffiny powers of cashew flour I knew I had to recreate one of my very favorite types of muffin, second only to chocolate, lemon poppyseed. And may I say that myself and several of my friends were quite pleased by the results. Feel free to amp up the lemon zest for more of zing as you partake in this Seinfeld-inspired treat:)

Ingredients:
-2 cups of cashew flour(almond flour probably works too)
-1/4 teaspoon sea salt
-3/4 teaspoon baking soda
-1 tablespoon lemon zest
-1 tablespoon poppyseeds(or chia seeds!)
-3 tablespoons lemon juice
-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 large egg
-1/4 cup date syrup(or 3tbsps honey/maple syrup)
-1 tablespoon grass-fed butter(optional)

Directions: Preheat oven to 375F. Grease baking sheet. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, then mix in wet. Then you can form the dough into two disks about 1 inch thick and bake for 25 minutes(until toothpick comes out clean, you may have to cover with aluminum foil after 15min) or spoon onto cookie sheet in the shape of cookies (I got a dozen) and bake for 15-20 mins. Enjoy warm or cold:)
