Vegan Lemon Drizzle Muffins
These vegan lemon drizzle muffins will wake up your taste buds with just the right amount of citrus to remind you of Summer days. If you’re a fan of lemon drizzle cake, you will LOVE these. Using vegan substitutes such as apple sauce, plant-based milk, and oil, they are light and fluffy and perfectly easy to make. Kids and grown ups will enjoy these tasty treats.

Notes
- This recipe makes 6 large muffins. No muffin cases? Feel free to use cupcake cases instead. You should end up with 9-10 cupcakes.
- My preferred plant-based milk is almond milk but you can substitute it with any plant-based milk such as oat or soy milk if you are nut-free. Just use the same amount.
- If you wish to omit the oil, use 50 ml melted butter to add fat to the muffins.
- Best enjoyed on the day of baking. If you wish to store them, place them in an airtight container and store them at room temperature for 2 days.
