Lemon poppy seed is a classic muffin flavour that I have loved for years. I love muffins, but I’m really more of a cookie girl. They are usually smaller and have less calories and are super easy to just grab and bite into on the go! So, I decided to try making some lemon poppy seed cookies and they turned out great!
Lemon Poppy Seed Cookie Ingredients
*Scroll down to the recipe box for quantities.
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 cup coconut flour
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tsp lemon juice
- 4 tsp lemon zest
- ½ cup coconut butter
- 6 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ cup almond milk
- 4 tbsp applesauce
- 4 tsp poppy seeds
How to make
Simple overview
Making these cookies is ridiculously easy. Just mix all of the ingredients in a bowl, form the dough into balls, and press the dough balls onto your baking sheet (covering it with parchment paper will prevent sticking). Then bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 13-15 minutes.
How many lemons will you need?
For the lemon zest, you will need to grate the skin of about 4 lemons to get 4 teaspoon of zest. You can then use one of the lemons to get 4 tsp of lemon juice for this recipe and save the rest of the lemons in the fridge for a few days. Then you can use them for another recipe or make some lemon water with them, so they don’t go to waste.
Baking length for these cookies
Bake time will always vary depending on the oven you are using. I have made these cookies many times, and they are always ready somewhere between 13 and 15 minutes. However, keep an eye on them and check them a little sooner to make sure they don’t burn! You should take them out when they are just starting to get a bit golden around the edges.
