The optional addition of a ripe banana makes these muffins very moist and sweet. With or without the banana these muffins are delicious. Plus they're vegan!

Ingredients

Muffins:

½ cup white sugar
¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon extract
½ cup coconut milk beverage (such as Silk®)
1 cup flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup mashed banana (Optional)
2 tablespoons poppy seeds

Glaze:

½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 9 muffin cups or line cups with paper liners.
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.
Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
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.
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.
