Gluten Free and Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins



You need a blender (I use a Blendtec, it is great because I don't have to worry about picking out seeds), mixer, and a scale.

Oven temp. 325

Weights are by grams

Prepare dry mix in mixing bowl:
200        Brown Rice Flour
60          Potato Starch (not flour)
40          Tapioca Starch
15          Poppy Seeds
10          Baking Powder
5            Salt
1/4 tsp.  Xanthan Gum

whisk together and set aside

In a Blender:
135      Chopped whole Sunkist lemons
40        Chia Seeds
80        Lemon juice
50        Water

Blend on highest speed for 90 seconds, then place the jar back on the scale and add:
270      White Sugar
10         Vanilla
150       Coconut oil

Optional Crumble:
15         Lemon Zest
10         Poppy Seeds (optional, I just like the way it looks)
85         White Rice Flour
60         White Sugar
60         Coconut Oil
5           Baking Soda

Incorporate together with a fork until evenly mixed and crumbly in appearance.

Blend altogether on highest speed for 90 seconds. Contents should be brown in color and smooth in texture. Pour contents into the mixing bowl and mix on medium speed for 3-5 minutes. Batter should be completely incorporated. It is very dense batter, so it isn't a good idea to double this recipe unless you have a heavy duty mixer.

Line a cupcake pan.

Scoop 1/3 cup batter each. Sprinkle crumble

Bake for 45 min. at 325.

Enjoy!
