I just love a good lemon cake but you know what's even better? Easy to share, faster to bake, portion-controlled servings of cake - aka muffins :)

These vegan glazed lemon muffins are actually super easy to make; you only need staple ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, etc.) and lemons.

The muffins are crazy soft and fluffy, and of course for an added zesty kick, we're adding a lemon glaze on top.

Ingredients
 
 

Dry ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup granulated white sugar (make sure it's vegan)
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

Wet ingredients

  • ⅔ cup plant-based milk e.g. oat milk
  • ¼ cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted

Ingredients for the glaze

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 360°F/180°C.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the muffins, and whisk. Then add in the wet ingredients and whisk again until it's a smooth batter.
  • Fill the batter into muffin wrappers in the muffin pan - the batter should be enough for 7 muffins.
  • Bake them in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes until they are getting a slightly golden color on top and you can use a wooden toothpick to check if they are baked all the way through.
  • Let them cool off completely before adding the lemon glaze. For the glaze, whisk together the lemon juice and powdered sugar. Add more lemon juice for a thinner glaze, add more powdered sugar to thicken it up. It should be thick but pourable. Then add a dollop of lemon glaze onto each muffin, let them sit for a few minutes, and enjoy!

    Unfortunately not good at all, they're super sense and not fluffy at all. I followed the recipe accordingly and didn't swap out any ingredients.
