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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the vanilla almond milk, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Enjoy the dairy-free lemon poppy seed muffins at room temperature, or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
