Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 9 servings

Muffins:

  • Ā½ cup white sugar

  • Ā¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

  • 2 Ā½ tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

  • 2 teaspoons lemon extract

  • Ā½ cup coconut milk beverage (such as SilkĀ®)

  • 1 cup flour

  • 1 Ā½ teaspoons baking powder

  • Ā½ teaspoon baking soda

  • Ā¼ teaspoon salt

  • ā…“ cup mashed banana (Optional)

  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds

Glaze:

  • Ā½ cup confectioners' sugar

  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 9 muffin cups or line cups with paper liners.

  2. Whisk sugar, lemon juice, oil, lemon zest, and lemon extract together in a bowl until evenly blended. Add coconut milk and stir until well combined. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir into sugar mixture. Fold in mashed banana and poppy seeds.

  3. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, at least 25 minutes.

  5. Mix confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice together in a bowl. Brush glaze on top of the cooled muffins.

Cook's Note:

Omitting the banana will result in a more lemony flavored muffin but the muffins are just as delicious.
