The best vegan coffee cake muffins with streusel topping

the main ingredient

You can find the complete printable recipe with ingredient amounts below. But first, here are some ingredient explanations and steps to help you perfect this recipe every time.

Here are the ingredients you will need for this recipe:

• streusel topping — To make the streusel topping, I like to use coconut sugar, but you can substitute brown sugar. You’ll also need ground cinnamon, salt, vegan butter, molasses, and rolled oats.
• Vegan butter — We will use vegan butter to make this muffin butter. You can substitute neutral-flavored vegetable oil.
• Agave nectar – Use agave nectar or maple syrup.
• swerve — To reduce the overall sugar load, I added some Swerve zero-calorie sweetener, or you can substitute granulated sugar.
• apple sauce – Let’s make these muffins extra moist by adding some unsweetened applesauce.
• Almond milk — We’ll add some unsweetened almond milk, or you can substitute any unsweetened plant-based milk.
• Egg replacer — These eggless muffins have the perfect texture thanks to ground flaxseed and cornstarch.
• Vinegar – A bit of apple cider vinegar is needed to soften the texture.
• flour — I like to use whole wheat pastry flour because it bakes up nice and light. However, you can substitute all-purpose flour or gluten-free baking flour.
• Baking powder + Baking soda – Aggregating makes the muffins fluffy.
• salt – You can use sea salt, but table salt works just fine.
