How to Make Lemon Anise Poppy Muffins Diabetic

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or coat with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat pastry flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground anise, and poppy seeds.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar substitute (or sugar), lemon zest, egg (if using), milk, applesauce (or oil), lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well.
  5. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. The batter will be thick. You may need to use a spoon or spatula to level the tops.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If using real sugar and egg, baking time may increase to 25-30 minutes.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
