This amazing Grain-Free Lemon Poppy Coffee Cake is scented with fresh lemon and filled with delicate poppy seeds, making it a true winner. The combination of almond and coconut flour gives this cake its extra moist texture and subtle nutty flavor. It’s lovely on its own, but a slice topped with a lemon-scented glaze takes it to another level of deliciousness!

A Healthier Twist on Grain-Free Lemon Poppy Coffee Cake

This is not your traditional dense coffee cake loaded with sugar and butter. Instead, this version strikes the perfect balance of healthy oils, nuts, seeds, and fresh lemon.

This gluten-free cake is rich in fiber, free of refined sugars, and about as healthy as a sweet snack can get. If you’re looking for another outrageously delicious gluten-free recipe featuring poppy seeds, try the grain-free poppy seed apple muffin.
