- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

- 1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- In a small cup or bowl, combine the coconut milk and lime juice. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Ina medium bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add the milk mixture, lime zest and vanilla; stir until blended and smooth. Divide batter evenly between prepared cups (do not overfill; cups should be no more than 1/2-way full).

Notes
Storage: Store the cooled muffins in an airtight container at (cool) room temperature for 2 days, the refrigerator for 1 week or the freezer for up to 6 months.
Using Other Milks: If using low fat or nonfat nondairy milk in place of the coconut milk, add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil (e.g., melted virgin coconut oil, avocado oil) and reduce the total amount of milk by 3 tablespoons.
Use Other Sweeteners: An equal amount of brown sugar, natural cane sugar, or pure maple syrup can be used in place of the coconut sugar
