Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup almond flour fine, blanched
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup xylitol powdered
  • 1 tablespoon poppyseeds
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 lemons zest and juice

Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 100 grams butter softened
  • 250 grams cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 lemon zest and juice
  • 1/3 cup xylitol powdered

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180C / 356F and line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper or silicone liners. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, xylitol and poppyseeds.
  • In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon zest and juice until evenly combined. 
  • Mix the wet ingredients with the dry and fold together gently until just combined. 
  • Pour into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 20 - 25 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Leave to cool while preparing the frosting. 
  • To make the frosting, using a hand beater or stand mix, whip the butter, cream cheese and lemon, saving 1 tablespoon of rind for serving. 
  • Whip in the powdered xylitol until completely incorporated. 
  • Once the muffins are cool, pipe or spread the frosting on top and finish with reserved lemon rind and a few extra poppy seeds for added crunch.
