Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a muffin tray by greasing it or lining it with paper cups.
  2. Sift together the all-purpose flour, white granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl, then set aside.
  3. Make the vegan buttermilk by combining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice with enough soy milk to reach the 1-cup line and let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the curdled vegan buttermilk, applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Toss the chopped strawberries in a teaspoon of flour before folding them into the muffin batter.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tray, filling each about three-quarters full, and sprinkle with brown sugar.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool the muffins in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
