Key ingredients for these orange poppy seed muffins:
- Gluten free oat flour
- I like to make my oat flour at home by blending up some gluten free oats. Just make sure that the out flour is very fine.
- Coconut sugar
- Coconut sugar is my favorite granulated sugar because of its deep color and flavor.
- Maple syrup
- I love using maple syrup as a sweetener because it helps bind the cookies together. Agave nectar and honey will work well too.
- Orange juice and zest
- I love the fresh flavor from the orange juice and zest! The next best sub is to use a lemon or orange extract.
- Greek yogurt
- I recently started adding Greek yogurt to my muffins because it keeps the muffins extra moist and squishy. If you want this dairy free then use some dairy free yogurt.
