Preheat oven to 375 F.
Line or grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
Ingredients
1 cup milk (almond, coconut...what ever you like but you need to make it sour so add 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar and let it sit for about 10 min while you mix up the rest. It will curdle and become gloppy. That's fine.)
3/4 cup sugar (or equivalent other sweetener like maple syrup)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (canola, or you can even use applesauce for half of this too)
2 flax eggs (You need 2 tbsp of ground flax seed and add it to 1/2 cup of water. Let sit. You can also add in 2 tsp boxed egg replacer here if you have it.)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp grated lemon zest (orange, lime, or you can omit)
2 cups all-purpose flour (or even whole wheat)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
Directions
In a large bowl, beat together sugar, oil, flax eggs, vanilla, and zest.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Stir this into the liquid mixture in 2-3 additions, alternating with the soured milk and any other additions you want to make. Beat only until combined - don't over mix.
Spoon into muffin pan (I use an ice cream scoop), filling cups to nearly the top.
Bake for 20-25 min until lightly browned on top.
I often double the recipe and freeze some for later.
Other options:
You could add 1 cup blueberries fresh or still frozen, 1 cup chocolate chips, 1/4 cup poppy seeds with a little extra lemon is yummy, 1 cup dried cranberries or cherries, nuts, Chia seeds or anything else you can think of to the mix. Maybe just not all at once!
