Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

1. Prepare a muffin tin with cooking spray or silicone liners. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Mix soy milk and 2 tsp of lemon juice together in a medium sized bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes until it begins to curdle.
3. Make your flax eggs. Mix 2 tbsp of ground flax seeds with 6 tbsp of water. Let sit for at least 5 minutes until the mixture gels up to the consistency of egg whites.
4. Meanwhile, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, poppy seeds, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined.
5. Add oil, flax egg, and remaining lemon juice into the bowl with the soy milk. Mix well. Stir in the remaining 2 tbsp of lemon zest.
6. Add the wet ingredients to the large bowl with dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Scoop batter into muffin pan. Fill each liner 2/3 of the way full, filling each liner evenly. If using the sugar topping, sprinkle on top of each muffin. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until set in the center.
