Vegan Ginger Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Submitted by BB2011

"My dad declared these muffins 'perfect'. My whole family couldn't stop raving over them: the slightly crispy tops, the fluffy insides, the way they hold together instead of crumbling everywhere...It's the highest praise I've ever gotten for my baking, and people are usually quite complimentary. Feel free to make them with milk, eggs, and butter if that floats your boat. You can adjust the amount of ginger for a stronger or weaker flavor; I've found that one teaspoon isn't very noticeable."
