Keto Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
Breakfast meal prepping could not be made simpler! These lemon poppy seed muffins are a classic recipe with just a couple keto adjustments. You may notice these muffins are not as sweet as what most would expect from a “breakfast muffin”; you may add additional keto-sweetener at your discretion, but remember you want to keep your sugar cravings low - especially in the morning!

I usually read the comments prior to making these recipes but failed to do so today. Thus, the only modification I made was to use monk fruit+erythritol instead of Stevia. The muffins are slightly on dry side and need more lemon flavor, as prior users have stated. Will make again, but with the changes suggested by GinaU. To save these, I made the keto cream cheese frosting (found in other recipe entries) with an extra Tbsp of lemon juice and applied that to the top to convert the “muffins” into “cupcakes”. Much better! The only negative: an additional 100cal per serving!!! ;-)

Ok, I fixed the recipe. Cut the flaxseed in half. Add the zest of one whole lemon. Use 3/4 cup erithritol instead of the packets. Use the juice of one whole lemon with your wet ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry (after adding melted butter to dry mixture). Increase baking time to 30-35 minutes. Perfect!

If you’ve never had a lemon poppyseed muffin before— you might like these. Not a lot of flavor and a little too firm for my taste (versus fluffy). I love typical poppyseed muffins, so was disappointed with this recipe, and the lemon didn’t come through at all. I won’t be making this one again.

Do you think you can add lemon extract for more lemon flavor?
GinaU 2 years ago
I added the juice of one whole lemon. Made some other alterations as well. See my post on this recipe. They turned out perfect the second time!

Texture was okay. Not very sweet (even after adding extra sweetener as suggested) and not very lemony. I added a bunch of lemon juice in addition to all the lemon zest and still not super lemony.

I like these but I add also one table spoon coconut flour to it to make the batter hold a little bit better and I also add lemon juice for more flavour and a bit more stevia, one tablespoon.

I made these according to the recipe and wasn’t a fan. They need way more lemon in my opinion. I will add more if I make them again. Consistency wasn’t too bad though, just lacked flavor.

Can you leave out the flax?

You can, but this will change the texture of the muffins and you may not have as much batter. You may want to add a 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum to your batter to help maintain some of the texture. Hope this helps!

I love this recipe! There were two additions I made to it- 1) added 1 TB of lemon juice (from the grated lemon) and 2) mixed more lemon juice with about 2tsp xylitol to drizzle on the top of the muffins when they got out of the oven.
