  • Mixing Bowl
  • Wooden Spoon

  • Measuring Jug
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

  • 260 g Plain Flour
  • 150 g White Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 20 g Poppy Seeds - (optional)
  • 240 ml Yogurt - vegan, (any plant based of your choice, plain or vanilla)
  • 3 tsp Egg Replacer - whisked up with 4 tbsp cold water
  • 60 ml Vegetable Oil
  • 120 ml Lemon Juice - freshly squeezed
  • 1 zest of one Lemon
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180c.

  • In a large bowl, sift the dry ingredients except for the poppy seeds.
  • Stir in the poppy seeds and lemon zest.
  • Make a well in the middle and pour in the wet ingredients.
  • Stir until just combined. The mixture should still have a few little lumps.

Notes

  • Make sure to leave muffins 10 minutes before eating, they will be much less crumbly!
  • You can use self-raising gluten-free flour instead

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
