Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT

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.
