Coconut flour is a nutritious gluten-free flour that’s both fiber rich and a good source of protein. It produces wonderfully light baked goods with a delicate sweet flavor. When using coconut flour, it’s important to add additional eggs and increase the liquid content of your recipes. This recipe is the perfect introduction to coconut flour…these delicious little muffins are guaranteed to disappear in an instant…Enjoy!
Time-Saving Tip: Whenever a recipe calls for lemon juice or lemon zest, here’s a real time- and money-saving tip … If the recipe calls for lemon juice, first zest the lemon and place the lemon zest in a freezer-safe container and freeze for future recipes. If a recipe calls for lemon zest, after zesting the lemon, squeeze the lemon to extract the juice and place the lemon juice in a freezer-safe container for future recipes. This eliminates waste and helps to reduce the prep time for future meals.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup organic coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (or coconut oil)
- 1/2 cup pure honey (I prefer sage honey due to its mild flavor)
- 1/8 tsp pure lemon extract
- 2 heaping tbsp fresh organic lemon zest (about 2 lemons)
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine coconut flour, baking soda and salt. In a smaller bowl, whisk together melted butter and honey. Then blend in eggs and lemon extract, until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry, thoroughly whisking together until smooth. Then whisk in lemon zest and poppy seeds. Spoon batter into a 24-cup mini-muffin tin lined with mini-muffin baking cups. Bake 8-10 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Just made these and had to throw them all away! Lamenting the waste of ingredients.
Too bitter, salty and tastes of eating dishwasher salts. Perhaps leave out the soda and add less salt and more lemon will do the trick? 🙁
That’s a shame. We make these often and they’re quite delicious. If you did not substitute, I’m not sure what went wrong. Apologies you didn’t have a good experience. Blessings in HIM, Kelly
