Healthy Lemon Chia Seed Muffins

First of all, I contemplated creating a lemon poppy seed muffin, but I couldn't even find poppy seeds at the store. I am not sure if they don't sell them or they were just all out. Either way, I decided most people would have chia seeds rather than poppy seeds in their pantry. Then, the Healthy Lemon Chia Seed Muffin was born. These muffins are refined sugar free, moist and bursting with a bright lemony flavor.

Ingredients in Lemon Chia Seed Muffins

• whole wheat flour
• almond flour
• baking powder (gluten-free)
• lemon zest
• fresh lemon juice
• unsweetened applesauce
• olive oil
• maple syrup
• unsweetened almond milk
• chia seeds

Ingredients in dairy free lemon glaze

• softened tofu cream cheese - I love Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese – You can find it at any grocery store!
• unsweetened almond milk
• honey
• fresh lemon juice

How to make Lemon Chia Seed Muffins

1. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients until well incorporated.
2. Line a muffin tin with 9 liners. Check out these silicone liners I adore! Use a ¼ measuring cup and pour the batter into each muffin liner.
3. Bake at 350° for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Allow the muffins to cool completely before removing them from the liners.
5. As the muffins are cooling, make the lemon glaze. Whisk together the softened tofu cream cheese, almond milk, honey and lemon juice until creamy.
6. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the muffins and enjoy!
7. If you are not eating all of the muffins right away, do not glaze the muffins. Store the glaze in the fridge in an airtight container. Store the muffins separately in an airtight container on the counter for a couple of days.
