Vegan MoFo Day 24: Basic Vegan Lemon Muffin Recipe

I’m starting to get burnt out. Day 24 and I’m still baking. I swear this is getting tiresome. I decided I have never written up a basic recipe for lemon muffins. These muffins are light and fluffy. They can also hold other fruit easily like berries and would pair well with the flavour.  I tend to serve them if I’m having a brunch full of flavour already since they are light and not overpowering.
