Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt. Stir to mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 0.5 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (allow to sit for 5 minutes to curdle), 2 tablespoons of lemon zest, 0.25 cup of fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined.
Add 0.25 cup of melted coconut oil to the batter and stir until the mixture is smooth.
Distribute the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your zesty and vegan-friendly lemon muffins!
