Happy Friday!
I never knew vegan, gluten free, dairy free muffins could be so fluffy, moist and light! These don’t fall short of sweetness either thanks to little bit of pure maple syrup.
I hope you all have wonderful plans for the weekend! Start it off by making a batch of these to enjoy!
Lemon Blueberry Muffins
