Taking a bite of one of these Lemon Chia Seed Muffins will take your tastebuds to heaven!! They’re light, fluffy, moist and filled with bright and fresh lemony flavor. When they’re topped with my Homemade Raspberry Jam (recipe coming soon! ?), oh man! SO yummy!!
Not only are they delicious, they’re also incredibly nutritious!! You wouldn’t believe that they’re #VEGAN and #GLUTENFREE by tasting them, but they totally are! Which means, they’re super light on the tummy unlike most baked goods!
They’re also packed with chia seeds instead of poppy seeds, which gives them a boost of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and protein!
