Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vanilla almond milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the vanilla almond milk, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the dairy-free lemon poppy seed muffins at room temperature, or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
