    Lemon basil muffins are a delicious flavour combination that are perfect for a Spring afternoon.  Baked with almond flour these are low carb and gluten free too.

    Lemon and basil is a flavouring that is usually used for sauces but I thought I'd put it in a muffin.  It works, with the sweet taste having a slight savoury aftertaste of the basil.  It's a taste of Spring in your mouth!

     I half expected the Chief Taster to throw them across the room and demand chocolate, but he loved them and munched them with relish.  I decorated mine with a lemon cream cheese glaze but you could happily serve them plain.  Or with the topping of your choice...go crazy and get creative!

        Of course but use less than the almond flour. About 1/4 cup.

        Thanks. I was watching an episode of Masterchef just after I published this and they had a sweet recipe with lemon and basil...lots of yelling at the tv with "see! it's not just me who likes this!"
