Here’s the recipe for a delicious healthy flourless Lemon Breakfast Cake with a subtle tang of citrus (from the lemon) and a choice of 3 healthy toppings! The light and fluffy filling is studded with poppy seeds, with a tender exterior.

Absolutely NO butter, oil, flour or sugar! It’s naturally gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free and sugar-free. There’s a paleo option, too.

Using fresh lemon juice AND lemon rind is key to this popular breakfast cake recipe. It’s best to avoid bottled lemon juice and lemon extract when you make this healthy flourless Lemon Breakfast Cake!

It’s full of slow releasing carbohydrates, healthy fats and protein to literally keep you satisfied between breakfast and lunch. It’s a quick, one-bowl recipe.
