Notes

Notes:

If you decide to make these into mini muffins you will need to adjust the baking time, I would check them at around 20 minutes.

Please don’t use muffin liners, this recipe will stick to them too much, just grease the muffin pan and put directly into the muffin pan.

*I use vegan stick butter not the soft spread from the tup.

**You will need approximately 3 medium lemons to get enough zest and juice for this recipe.

***Zest lemons before juicing them it will make life so much easier!

****I used plain vanilla unsweetened almond yogurt but feel free to use soy or coconut yogurt if you would like, note that the flavor may change a little but it should still be delicious!
