Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup maple sugar
  • zest of one lemon
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp. avocado oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 3/4 cup arrowroot
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare baking pan: for muffin cups either line with parchment liners, silicone liners (my preference) or spray with cooking spray. For a baking pan, line with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine well the eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple sugar, oil and vanilla.
  • Now add in the dry ingredients: almond flour, arrowroot, baking soda and salt and mix well.
  • Pour into baking pan or portion into muffin cups.
  • For 8x8 pan, bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. For muffin cups, bake 18-20 minutes. No matter what size or shape pan you use, employ the toothpick test for doneness.
  • Allow to cool before serving. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
