Hearty wheat bran and cinnamon give these muffins that cozy, old-fashioned bakery flavor, while coconut oil and a touch of honey keep the crumb moist and rich without any heaviness. A quick dairy free milk mixture soured with apple cider vinegar stands in for classic buttermilk, giving the batter the lift and tang that makes these muffins so tender. Raisins scattered throughout add little bursts of sweetness in every bite, and the whole batch comes together in one bowl with minimal fuss. They bake up domed and golden in under twenty minutes, with a toothpick-clean center and a soft, cake-like interior. This is a solid pick for a vegan breakfast spread or an easy grab-and-go snack, and it keeps well on the counter for busy mornings all week long.

1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup dairy free milk
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
3 tbsp honey
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey.
2 large eggs
Chef's tip
For each egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit until it thickens. It holds ingredients together but won't make things rise - best in pancakes, muffins, and cookies.
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup well with coconut oil.
2
Combine the dairy free milk and apple cider vinegar in a medium bowl and let stand for 5 minutes until slightly curdled. This creates a dairy-free buttermilk that helps the muffins rise and stay tender.
