METHOD
To make the muffins:
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F. Line a 12-cup cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together the coconut milk, oil, lemon juice, zest, and lemon extract in a separate bowl. Whisk the wet mixture into the dry mixture until just combined. Mix in the poppy seeds. Avoid overmixing.
Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds of the way with batter. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out dry with a few crumbs attached. Allow the muffins to cool completely before icing.
To make the icing: In a small mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, water, and zest.
Cover each muffin with a thin layer of icing.
