Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups 220g all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup 150g granulated sugar or coconut sugar for less refined option
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup 180ml unsweetened vegan milk almond, oat, or soy
  • ¼ cup 60ml light vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • ¼ cup 60ml fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest about 1 large lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar to help muffins rise

Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • Paper muffin liners or non-stick spray
  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 Small mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Zester or grater

Method
 

Preheat oven:
  1. Set to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
Mix dry ingredients:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine wet ingredients:
  1. In a separate bowl, mix the plant-based milk, oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar.
Combine wet and dry:
  1. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined—do not overmix, as it can make the muffins dense.
Fill muffin cups:
  1. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake:
  1. Place in the oven for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool:
  1. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
