Vegan Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
Vegan Lemon Poppyseed Muffins offer moist, lightly tangy muffins flavored with lemon zest and juice, speckled with poppy seeds for gentle crunch. They are made without eggs or dairy, using margarine and almond milk with vinegar to achieve tenderness. Finished with a bright lemon glaze, these muffins balance sweet and citrus notes in a soft crumb.

Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- ½ c margarine melted
- 1 c raw granulated sugar Or regular sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- ¾ c lemon juice
- ½ c almond milk or other Vegan Milk, warmed to room temperature
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 c all-purpose flour unbleached
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon poppy seeds
Lemon Glaze
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoon granulated sugar Choose based on the consistency you prefer, powdered will be smoother, or powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350' F and grease or line a 12 cup muffin tin.
- Mix margarine and sugar together until well mixed and creamy. Add remaining wet ingredients and mix well with a hand blender or whisk. It may look a little curdled at this point, that is ok.
- Mix all dry ingredients together well and then pour into wet mixture. Stir gently until it is just mixed together. Do not overmix as this can make your muffins hard and dense.
- Divide batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups (they will be quite full, that is ok) and bake for 20-25 minutes. Test with a toothpick. It will come out clean once muffins are done.
- Let cool 5-10 minutes in pan, then remove to a cooling rack. Once fairly cool, spoon glaze (about ¾ teaspoon per muffin) equally over tops and let it soak in. Enjoy!
