Gluten free dairy free muffins are topped with a crunchy streusel topping

Start your weekend with a batch of these dairy free muffins with coconut streusel topping! These are delicious and perfect with a cup of coffee or tea. 

Dairy free muffins with coconut topping

If you’ve recently moved to a dairy free diet, you know how hard it is to try to figure out what to bake. You’ve stopped using butter and milk and cream, and you’re just not sure what to do with your favorite recipes.

These dairy free muffins have a rich coconut flavor and a yummy streusel like top.  You won’t miss the dairy with this sweet and tender muffin recipe.

I used non-dairy coconut milk, but you can use any neutral tasting dairy free milk that works for your diet. Read my guide to dairy substitutions for suggestions.

Be careful around the streusel topping – it’s so good. I think it would be fantastic on any kind of muffin – maybe even on this chocolate muffin recipe.

Ideas for substitutions:

  • You can use a different kind of sugar if you like – try brown sugar
  • Add some gluten free oats to the streusel topping
  • You can use coconut oil or melted vegan buttery spread instead of canola oil

Suggestions for making these dairy free muffins:

  • If you don’t need to be gluten free, go ahead and use all-purpose flour or spelt flour
  • If you feel like a little something extra, go ahead and add in some dairy free chocolate chips
  • Want a little more crunch? Add a few nuts if you’re able to eat nuts, or even some sunflower seeds

These are a great for a quick breakfast or an after school snack. You can also make a double batch and freeze these – then you can grab one or two and defrost them whenever you need a muffin!
