Sorry boring breakfast options, but muffin’ compares to these morning treats. Made with gluten-free flour and fresh lemons, every bite is soft and bursting with crunchy poppy seeds and bright, citrus flavor. The cashew-based frosting – sweetened with maple syrup – gives rise to the perfect blend of sweet and tart. When life gives you lemons, make muffins.
