Easy lemon and poppy Seed vegan Muffins recipe. Sometimes breakfast is hard to navigate. I myself like to stay in bed as late as I can before grabbing something really quick to eat. On the weekend, I’m happy to prepare a long, leisurely brunch, but during the week, my favourite thing to do is prep my breakfast the night before. And yes, I know, a muffin isn’t the healthiest of breakfasts…but it IS vegan and yummy! If my vegan lemon breakfast muffin recipe isn’t your thing (and of course, there’s always lunch, brunch and lupper, as Homer Simpson would say), perhaps my Banana Peanut Butter Pancakes are more up your street, or maybe my 3 ingredient protein balls!
The mainstay of the on-the-go breakfast eater, these easy lemon poppy seed muffins are much lighter and fluffier than the dense, dried out ones you pick up, bleary-eyed, on your morning petrol run. They also take no time at all to whip up.
However, if you find that time is not on your side in the mornings, or you just prefer to spend every precious minute dozing before the alarm goes off, you can make these the night before.
