Ingredients
Scale

- ½ cup organic butter or ghee, softened
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon & 1 ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 ½ cups Otto’s Natural Cassava Flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¾ cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds (or 1 box from Spicely)
- 2 egg whites, beaten to stiff peaks
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 12-piece muffin pan with liners.
- In a small bowl, combine coconut cream and lemon juice. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter, until sugar is fully incorporated and consistency is fluffy. Add in the egg yolk and mix thoroughly. Then stir in the lemon zest.
- In a separate bowl, combine cassava flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Slowly add coconut milk mixture and flour to the large bowl of sugar and butter. When mixed, stir in poppy seeds.

- Immediately garnish each muffin with ½ teaspoon of hemp seeds. Let cool for 5 minutes. Enjoy.
Notes
Whisk the egg whites in a metal bowl. That way the egg whites will stay cold, and you’ll get them to the stiff consistency faster.
