Hopefully you’ll try these scrumptious and Healthy Lemon Blueberry Seed Muffins with nigella seeds or poppy seeds. These muffins are the perfect morning treat, or afternoon goodie with a cup of tea or coffee. Our team tried a few combos, and decided we had to share this version was the absolute winner. You know those recipes that get filled in the recipe box and you know you can back to again and again. 

You can choose to add the lemon glaze or not. Shy away if you’re staying far from refined sugar right now. The glaze is the only part of the recipe that includes refined sugar. We adore baking without refined sugar. If that’s your style, try out this recipe for  chocolate chip cookies with no refined sugar! As for the lemon glaze, the good thing is that you can just add as much as you like, or don’t like.

We originally wanted to make these with poppy seeds, but the store was fresh out, so we opted for nigella seeds and a little bit of chia seeds. Nigella seeds that were left over from making homemade bitters were the perfect and unexpected choice! The result in the muffins was absolutely delicious. The bonus is that nigella seeds are healthy for you.
