Vegan Meyer Lemon Muffins

Light and lemony muffins with bright and tangy frosting.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375° and lightly oil a non-stick muffin tin.
2. In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla. Pour into the large bowl and use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until just combined. Fold in the chia seeds. Use a ⅓ cup scoop to scoop the batter.
5. Bake 16-17 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
6. Make the glaze. In a food processor combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, maple syrup and lemon zest. Dollop onto the cooled muffins and sprinkle with chia seeds and lemon zest.
