LEMON CHIA SEED BLUEBERRY SUPERHERO MUFFINS
Take the classic Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin to a whole new level by using power-packed chia seeds instead of poppies. Stir in fresh or frozen blueberries and you have a muffin that will impress mom (and everyone in the family!).
For a fancier look we recommend using almond flour instead of almond meal, which keeps the muffins the color of lemons. Also use yellow or white carrots instead of orange ones so they blend in (if you have picky kids).
LEMON CHIA SEED BLUEBERRY SUPERHERO MUFFINS
Makes 12
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if sensitive)
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup grated yellow or white carrots (about 2 carrots), peeled
- 1⁄2 cup honey
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Directions:
Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper muffin cups.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, oats, chia seeds, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, carrot, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, and melted coconut oil. Add to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the blueberries.
Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each to the brim. Bake until the tops are golden and a knife inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
