June 3, 2020 by A Stray Kitchen Leave a Comment

These gluten free lemon poppy seed muffins are a favorite of just about everyone I've served them too. This is your classic muffin made gluten free! The best part of this recipe is that it comes together with just 10 simple ingredients.

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

GF Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are a classic flavor combination. The lemon gives the perfect tartness and the poppy seeds balance out the sweet/tart flavor, bringing it all together so it's not overwhelming.

To make these muffins you'll simply need these gluten free baking supplies:

  • Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour
  • Poppy Seeds
  • Baking Powder
  • Salt
  • Sugar
  • Lemon Juice / Lemon Zest
  • Egg
  • Unsalted Butter
  • Buttermilk

Lemon poppy seed used to be my go-to in coffee shops and bakeries. It's a satisfying flavor combination and it's also hard to screw it up. So it was usually a safe bet.

It's not any different when making gluten free lemon poppyseed muffins at home. Just 10 ingredients and a little mixing and you're on your way to having delicious and easy lemon poppy seed muffins.

For this recipe I made them in large muffin tins but you can also make them in cupcake tins (and I've added notes in the recipe for the adjustments). You're muffins will just be smaller than pictured and you might want to serve two instead of one!

If you find yourself making muffins often and want the bigger size I highly recommend investing in a large muffin tin. It usually has 6 muffin spaces and is perfect for most recipes.

You'll also have to invest in large muffin liners (cupcake liners wont work), but for under $25 you'll be set up to make ALL the muffins you want. - I have exact product recommendations below in my Amazon pick's.

These gf lemon poppyseed muffins not only have the perfect flavor but they also have an amazing structure and crumb. They're fluffy and perfectly bread like without being to dry.

I make up a batch or two and freeze most of them. That way I can let one thaw in the fridge when I know my morning will be hectic and I'll need a quick breakfast.
