- ½ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup almond milk
- ¾ cup maple syrup
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda

Instructions
- Start by making the streusel. Add all ingredients into a small bowl and massage together with your fingertips until a texture of breadcrumbs is reached. And set aside.
- Next pre heat the oven to 375 degrees F. And line a muffin tin with muffin cups. Or grease with avocado oil.
- Now on to the muffins! First make the flax eggs in a small bowl. Simply whisk together 2 tbs ground flax with 6 tbs of water and allow to rest for 5 mins.
- While the flax eggs are setting. I’m a large bowl whisk together the sumo citrus zest, coconut oil and sugar. Then add the flax egg, sumo citrus juice and almond milk.
- Next whisk in the baking soda, baking powder and the pinch of salt.
- Then fold in the flour. The batter will be loose and slightly lumpy.
- Spoon batter into the muffin cups. Be sure to fill them amply. It will fill 11-12.
- Sprinkle with the streusel mixture and bake for 20-23 mins. Or until when inserting a tooth lock it comes out clean. Keep an eye on them as they do cook fast!
- Once baked. Remove from the tin carfully and transfer to a rack.
- I love these muffins warm with a little extra vegan butter! Store any leftovers in the freezer to maintain fresh ness! Enjoy!!!
