Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins Recipe
A soft, citrusy vegan muffin made with lemon juice, zest, and poppy seeds — fluffy, bright, and guaranteed to boost your mood.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line your muffin pan with paper cups — because cute muffins deserve cute outfits.
- In a small bowl, mix almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle into vegan “buttermilk.”
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.
- In another bowl, combine melted coconut oil, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix gently until smooth. Don’t overmix — muffins hate drama.
- Divide the batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool on a wire rack — try not to eat them all immediately.
- Optional: drizzle with lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice.
- Serve warm, inhale the citrusy scent, and feel like you’ve got your life together.
