We are always on the lookout for delicious gluten-free muffins and this recipe came from Cooking Instructor Wendy's Aunt Di in Colorado. These are not too sweet so they can easily be served alongside a soup or chili, but they would also be great for breakfast or a snack.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat muffin tins with a fine mist of oil or line with paper cups. Combine lemon juice, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, almond extract, and eggs in a large bowl and whisk together. To a separate bowl, add flour, baking soda, salt, poppy seeds, and lemon zest and stir to combine. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until incorporated. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full and bake for 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
