Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond meal, protein powder, baking powder, salt, Splenda, baking soda, and poppy seeds, and stir until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, eggs, water, lemon extract, and lemon rind, and whisk together well.

4. When your oven is up to temperature, spray 16 muffin tins well with nonstick cooking spray. (You can use paper liners, if you prefer.)

5. Pour the sour cream mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir together with just a few strokes-just enough to make the mixture evenly moist. Do not over-mix.

6. Spoon the batter evenly into muffin cups, and bake for 20 minutes.
