If you're looking for a tasty replacement for traditional muffins made with white flour and sugar, these lemon poppy seed muffins made with low-carb pancake mix are a perfect portable snack. Our pure avocado oil adds richness, with lemon essential oil providing a fresh and zesty citrus flavor.
Ingredients
2 cups keto pancake mix (we used Birch Benders)
-
- ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons water
- ½ cup poppy seeds
- ¼ cup monk fruit
- 2-3 drops lemon essential oil
- 1 lemon, zested
Directions
Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well.
Spray a muffin tin with Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Spray or line with paper baking cups. Spoon an equal amount of mixture into each muffin slot, leaving about ¼ inch from the batter to the top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean. Remove tin from the oven and allow muffins to cool for about 5 minutes before removing. Serve and enjoy!

When you want a quick snack or on-the-go breakfast, nothing beats a muffin. They're super easy to pack into a lunch box or grab on your way to pick up the kiddos from school, not to mention they taste delicious. Muffins might have slowly drifted into the background as you tried keto or started limiting sugars in your diet, but you don't have to tuck your muffin recipes away forever.
By using a keto-friendly pancake mix combined with lemon essential oil and monk fruit for a touch of sweetness, you can get the same delicious flavor as your average muffin with fewer net carbs and refined sugar. (And if carbs aren't a concern, you can sub in any pancake mix.) We also added our Pure Avocado Oil for a silky texture that helps keep your muffins moist. Bake up a batch for the whole family and we bet no one will even know these aren't your typical sugary breakfast treats.
