If you’re after a healthy muffin recipe with a lemon twist then look no further (plus this recipe is easy to make too!).
The base of these muffins is oat flour, but feel free to use spelt or wholemeal. You can also make a protein version of the muffins by replacing 25g (1/4 cup) of the flour with whey protein – I used vanilla whey protein from Protein Dynamic (use the code NIC20 for 20% off!).
The recipe below makes 6 muffins (which I made in a silicone muffin tray
Do let me know if you make these muffins too!

Notes
*To make protein lemon muffins use 120g (1 cup) of oat flour/ground oats and 25g (1/4 cup) of vanilla or unflavoured whey protein – this makes the muffins have 10g protein each!
**Such as Sukrin Gold, Xylitol or Trvuia (if you use a ‘lighter sweetener’ use the cup measurement as opposed to grams)
***You can swap the whey protein in the icing for white hot chocolate powder or Sukrin (calorie free) Icing Sugar
