Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Lychee, canned or fresh, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lychee syrup (optional, if using canned lychee)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the granulated sugar.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and lychee syrup (if using).

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped lychee gently to evenly distribute throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
