Dairy Free Muffins with Coconut Streusel.

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. 

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.

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

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
