Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a six-hole muffin tin with vegan butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the sifted flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Then stir through the brown sugar.
  3. In a smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar until well combined. Add in the maple syrup.
  4. Fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture, then add in the shredded coconut. Make sure not to over mix.
  5. Scoop about ⅓ cup of batter into each muffin hole. Tap the tin onto the benchtop a few times to get rid of any air bubbles in the mixture.
  6. Place into the preheated oven to bake for 20 minutes. Once the muffins have risen and cooked all the way through, remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. To make the icing, mix together the icing sugar, butter, and lemon juice. Once the muffins have completely cooled, pipe the icing onto the muffins, then top with lemon zest, lemon slices, and shredded coconut.
