Ingredients

Muffins

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 4 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter melted
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free yogurt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Crumb Topping

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter melted

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and line a muffin pan with liners.
  • In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for the crumb topping. Pour in melted vegan butter and mix with a fork until crumbly. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • Add applesauce, melted vegan butter, almond milk, dairy-free yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Divide the batter evenly into the muffin liners, filling about 3/4 full.
  • Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each muffin, gently pressing it into the batter so it sticks.
  • Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let muffins cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled muffins before serving.
