Lemon Muffins (Grain-free, gluten-free)

Healthier grain-free and gluten-free lemon muffins with an amazing pound cake-like texture!

 These lemon muffins are gluten-free and grain-free and taste like pound cake! | texanerin.com

Here’s one for our gluten-free friends. I feel like I’ve been neglecting you lately and for that, I’m sorry!

Gluten-free and especially grain-free baking is always an adventure and this one ended up as pound cake muffins. Yup, the texture is pretty similar to pound cake. They aren’t fluffy but have this slightly dense, yet pleasant, thing going on.

With all the snow and gray depressing skies, I wanted to make something bright and cheery. And all lemony things qualify as cheery, right?! Other people are talking about the first signs of spring and well, I’m just going to pretend with these muffins.

Grain-free and gluten-free lemon muffins that taste just like pound cake! | texanerin.com

Baking with almond flour is pretty cool sometimes. Not only did it result in bright yellow muffins (whole wheat would have made them look pretty drab, I think) but it lets the lemon flavor really shine through. I suppose you could also use almond meal in them, but then don’t blame me when they have little brown specks. Brown specks just don’t belong in my cheery muffins. ;)

And one more thing. The lemon glaze isn’t optional! It makes the lemon flavor pop even more so don’t leave it out. The muffins aren’t that sweet so the glaze helps them achieve that “naughty muffin” taste. I rarely use powdered sugar but I haven’t found a way around it in glazes. Anyone have an idea how to make a processed sugar free lemon glaze?

I only made these yesterday but they’re just as good today as they were out of the oven. Another plus for almond flour!

Lemon Muffins (Grain-free, gluten-free)
  • Prep Time:
  • Cook Time:
  • Ready in:
  • Yield: 8 muffins

Ingredients

    Muffins:

  • 96 grams (~1 cup but please weigh!) almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons (16 grams) coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (56 grams) coconut oil or butter, melted
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons (60 grams) honey
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon milk, any kind
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract or vanilla extract
  • Lemon glaze:

  • up to 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • up to 1 cup powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin pan with 8 muffin liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (almond flour through salt) and set this aside.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients.
  4. Add the dry mix to the wet and stir just until combined. Do not over mix! That will result in a bad texture.
  5. Bake for 15 - 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean and the muffins are firm to the touch. Let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then turn the muffins out onto a wire rack to cool.
  6. For the glaze, put 1 teaspoon of lemon juice in a bowl and stir in enough powdered sugar to get the glaze the consistency you want (you'll probably use 1/2 cup powdered sugar). Add more lemon juice, if needed. It should be thick but still easy to drizzle. Drizzle over the muffins and store in an air-tight container.

    hello, in this recipe, I noticed you used 16g as 2 tablespoons( so it is 8g per tbsp) at first; but then you count 60g as 3 tablespoons (20g per tbsp this time?!) Could you please let me know the cause of this, and the conversion between your tbsp and tsp?

    Thank you for your help!

      Hi! I’m not quite sure what you’re referring to. 2 tbsp coconut flour = 16 grams. 3 tbsp honey = 60 grams. If you measure out honey and coconut flour, you’ll see that 1 tbsp of honey is much heavier than 1 tbsp of coconut flour. Every ingredient has a different weight.

      Hello! Commenters have used dairy-free yogurt in place of the Greek yogurt and said it works so I think that’d be fine. :) Almond milk works as the milk.

    You can make powdered sugar from any sugar. I’m sensitive to corn so I don’t buy icing sugar (I read that the corn starch in the packaged stuff is just to help with moisture and keep it from clumping). I use organic cane sugar and grind it. Keep it in a Tupperware. Makes a nice glaze.

      Thanks for the tip! My only issue with making powdered sugar with coconut sugar or raw sugar here is that the taste doesn’t go very well with lemon (at least in my opinion). Or perhaps your organic cane sugar is lighter than mine? That’d make a huge difference. :)

    2 tablespoons coconut oil, softened
    2 tablespoons raw honey
    1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
    zest of half a lemon

      Thanks, Tammy! Sorry that you can’t find almond flour. Almond flour and coconut flour are unfortunately not interchangeable at all (there’s no sub for coconut flour) :( You could use any type of nut flour or meal! Almond meal, cashew meal, hazelnut meal or whatever else you can find / make. The only thing is that a different type of flour will affect the taste and since I’ve only used almond flour here, I can’t say if it’d be a good change or not! I’d suggest making your own almond flour. Here’s a recipe. Good luck! :)

If you do, and you’ve used them in place of other liquid sweeteners before, I don’t see why they wouldn’t work here. Sorry again not to have a definite answer for you!

        Try combining stevia and lemon juice to make up the 3 Tbs of honey. ALSO, I have a lemon bundt pound cake and the drizzle I use is one cup sugar to 1 cup fresh lemon juice. Heat until melted and then poke holes in cooled cake in pan and pour over and let sit for 20 minutes to cool. I’m going to try this with the stevia next as I also need to lose the sugar. AND…..you can order literally any of the flours you have been discussing form Amazon!

    HI Erin! This looks delicious! I am going to make them this weekend. One thing I wanted to comment on is that the Costco where I live (Seattle, WA) now carries coconut flour and Honeyville almond flour! Also, chia seeds, flaxseeds, coconut oil, gluten free flour! So, for all you blog readers, check it out and see if they carry it in yours. It sure does make healthy baking more affordable…

      Almond flour is made from blanched almonds. Sometimes they refer to it as meal / flour so the whole thing is pretty confusing. Just make sure it’s blanched (no skin) and you’ll be fine! :) I live in Germany where it’s a common thing but from everything I’ve read, Honeyville almond flour is the best in the US. Only problem is that it’s super expensive.

    These look lovely! I too have (shockingly) never used almond flour. Almond meal, yes, just not flour. Which is funny because I’ve used just about every other gluten-free flour out there! My faves are buckwheat, sorghum, quinoa, and teff (get the ivory if you can!). I’ve tried making muffins out of mostly coconut flour but the texture is just too dense and fiberous for me. So I love that this is grain-free and has the added nutrition of the coconut flour without relying on it completely. Almond flour is very expensive but some of my local health food stores have started carrying in the bulk bins so it’s cheaper. You can also make your own using blanched almonds but you need to have a real grinder or else it won’t be fine enough. I’ve also heard a Vitamix will work.

    If you want a fluffier muffin you could try replacing 1/2 or 1/3 of the almond flour with quinoa flour. And apple cider vinegar always helps. Usually you’d add it at a ratio of 1 Tbsp per cup of milk, mix them together & let curdle for 5 mins. Since this recipe just has a small amount of milk, I’d mix the milk and yogurt together with a tsp ACV, reduce baking powder to 1/2 tsp & add 1/4 tsp baking soda since you’d now have more than enough acid.

    Baking by weight is the way to go! Especially with gluten-free – makes a huge difference!

    Re glaze… I have a cookbook that gives directions on how to make powdered sugar out of coconut palm sugar and cornstarch, I believe. I’ll try to remember to find the recipe… Coconut sugar is the only sugar I use! Other than molasses and raw honey. Bakes beautifully and is so much healthier than regular sugar. And super yummy tasting!

      Thanks for your tips! I don’t like baked goods made with only coconut flour, either. The texture is awful!

      I think these muffins have the perfect texture, almost like a gluten-filled pound cake, but I’ll keep your ideas in mind for future baked goods!

      I already make powdered coconut sugar (in a coffee grinder) but my problem with using that on something lemony is that the the flavors don’t mesh. At least for me! It’s like bright lemon flavor and then this dark, almost caramel-taste. It’s probably the only flavor I won’t use coconut sugar with.

      Thanks again for your comment! :)

        Oh yeah good point about the deeper flavor of the coconut sugar. I just realized I guess I haven’t made anything lemony since I used white sugar! I have found that the blonde coconut sugar is milder in flavor. I also just read, in one of my sugar-free cookbooks, about Swerve. I haven’t tried it but apparently it comes in a powdered version. In case it’s helpful… :)

And blonde coconut sugar?! I didn’t know that that even existed. Thanks so much for the tip! Definitely going to look into it. :)

I did use Splenda since I’m diabetic (and skipped the glaze) Also I don’t have any coconut flour yet so I used flaxseed. Not such a pretty muffin but delicious and just right for breakfast.

    So, were you in my head? I was at the store yesterday and thought to myself "oh, I better grab almond and coconut flour". These are two ingredients I've literally never purchased in my life, and I more than impulse bought them, I felt COMPELLED to buy them. Hmmm.

    Lemon is in my top 3 favorite fruit flavors. Something about them reminds me of spring, which is great when it's snowing about an inch every second outside. I'll dream of these and also of not getting snowed in at work :-D

      Hahaha. YES! I made these, absolutely, with you in mind! ;) I love it when random stuff like that happens. And I love lemon too! It's just so darned… happy seeming. It sounds ridiculous but you know it's true. :)

    These muffins do look cheery indeed! And from the looks I can't even tell they are grain free.

    SO pretty! I'd devour these. And of course the glaze isn't optional. I'd drink it with a straw…

    These look so light and fluffy! Not easy to accomplish with almond flour but you did it beautifully!

      Well, they're not fluffy. They're more like pound cake! They're still good, though. Promise!

    Ohhhh man, these look delicious. I am usually not a big fan of lemon or citrus flavored baked goods but for some reason I can already taste these lemon muffins and I'm liking the flavor (in my head at least) maybe my tastes are changing? Love it! Pinned!

    Aww such sunshiny muffins :) It's been windy hear, which makes it cold, which makes me unhappy. I would much rather it be regular cold instead of windchill cold.

    I love the contrast of the lines and the muffins by the way. :)

    Happy almost Friday!

      Hmm. I haven't tried it but how about using 3 tablespoons of homemade soy buttermilk instead of Greek yogurt + milk? I hope that'll work! Let me know if you try them. :)

      I hope you and your kids will like them! Of the grain-free muffins I've tried, these have the most pleasant / least funky texture. :) Let me know how you all liked them!
