Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the muffins remain tender.
Gently fold in the lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 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 pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your fresh, dairy-free poppy seed muffins warm or store in an airtight container for later.
