Vegan Lemon Muffins

These lemon muffins were a bonafide hit with non-vegan friends!

Lemon. Lemon. Lemon.
From rich, savory dishes to the most decadent dessert, many of my most memorable recipe disasters were saved by the teeny tiny drips of a fresh squeezed lemon or yellow rind scraps hot off the grater. So I always keep lemons in the fridge, little bottles of lemon juice, lemon extract, and lemon pepper on hand. Never know when the next catastrophe will occur!
But lemons aren't just an ingredient to be solely used for hero worship.
It can be great alone.
Not alone as in, drinking straight up lemon juice and getting the sour, pinched up cheeks face, lol.
 This is first of two lemon centric sweet breads- (May 24th is Mom, the world's biggest lemon fan's birthday and I'm making specialty lemonade cupcakes for her).
In these moist, delicious muffins, I made sure not to add vanilla extract which typically is included in every dessert and allowed lemon to rule taste of firm and golden treats with lovely browned bottoms. Though lacking springy sponge texture, it is still a definite must for any lemon fanatic- it hits all the right citrus notes!
