Sugar-Free Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

I used to sing the Muffin Man song all day and force all my classmates to play with me until we eventually united with a rousing, ‘We all know the muffin man.’

Needless to say, I love muffins. I mainly make bran and carrot ones because I am always greedy to add extra fiber into my diet.

This recipe though is quite a different one in that it has a lot of chia seeds and poppy seeds. These two super foods is believed to keep you fuller for longer.

A head’s up - This recipe bakes so light and you will rejoice after you eat one muffin. There’s no feeling of bloat and there’s almost always a temptation to have another one.
