Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

These naturally gluten-free muffins are mildly sweet and citrusy with a soft, tender crumb that is held together with almond flour, brown rice flour, eggs, applesauce and olive oil. I've opted for coconut sugar which made the batter darker. Feel free to use regular sugar if you'd like to keep the batter lighter so there's more contrast with the poppy seeds.

Almond Peach Cobbler

This is my farewell-to-peaches peach cobbler. My favorite stone fruit guy at the farmer's market drives several hours from the Central Valley to the Bay Area every Thursday and Sunday for our markets. He's still harvesting peaches and nectarines but plums are quickly taking over and persimmons should be arriving in a few weeks.
