Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 tablespoon poppy seeds

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier twist)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Zest of 2 lemons

1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a mini loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, chia seeds, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure everything is well combined and set aside.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, applesauce, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.

          Pour into Pan: Divide the batter evenly into the mini loaf pan, filling each section about 2/3 full.

            Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the mini loaves to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve your delightful Lemon Poppy Chia Mini Loaves as a refreshing snack or breakfast treat. Drizzle with a simple lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice if desired!
