In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, honey, coconut oil, lemon juice and lemon zest for the muffin batter. Set aside

Pour wet batter into the dry batter mixing bowl and whisk well to combine. Do not over mix!

Recipe Notes: 

 

This recipe is super versatile as any fruit, or healthy superfood seeds can be used. Gluten and grain-free treat or use household staples such as regular whole wheat flour; the choice is yours! 

 

You can create a more decadent parfait by using crumbled cake pieces and chocolate sauce and serve at parties as dessert for a more individualized personal touch.
