Muffins are the best! These moist low FODMAP lemony poppyseed & zucchini muffins make yummy snacks or delicious grab and go breakfasts.

They are golden and a little bit crunchy on the outside, then moist and fluffy on the inside. The poppyseeds provide little hints of nutty flavour, and the lemon brightens up the muffins and takes me to my happy place!

Did mention that I'm a ninja at sneaking veggies into meals? These muffins feature courgette/zucchini to help keep them moist.

So what are you waiting for? Get your bake on and whip up a batch of these low FODMAP lemony poppyseed & zucchini muffins.

  1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF) bake function. Grease a muffin tin (1 batch makes 9 standard muffins).
  2. Grate the courgette/zucchini, then wrap in a clean tea towel and squeeze to remove the excess water (this stops your muffins going soggy). Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and egg. Then stir thought the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Next, fold through the poppy seeds and courgette/zucchini.
  4. Divide the batter into the muffin tin holes (about ¼ cup scoop per muffin).
  5. Bake for 15 minutes until golden (you know they’re done when the tops are springy and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean).

Buying Tips

Buy a gluten free plain flour or gluten free all purpose flour. The one we used contains these ingredients: maize starch, rice flour, tapioca starch, rice bran, & guar gum. Avoid flour blends that contain soy flour, chickpea/besan/gram/garbanzo bean flour, lentil flour, coconut flour, amaranth flour, or lupin flour.

Make your lemon juice and lemon zest from fresh lemon.
