In a bowl, add coconut sugar and mix in cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.

In another bowl, mix together almond milk and lemon juice to help the muffins become light and fluffy.

Add ground golden flax seed and vanilla extract to the almond milk mixture.

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt for the dry ingredients.

Cream together plant-based margarine and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add half of the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, then half of the wet mixture, and repeat with the remaining dry and wet mixtures to create muffin batter.

Scoop a small amount of muffin batter into the bottom of the muffin tins.

Sprinkle with the cinnamon swirl mixture, then add another scoop of muffin batter on top and smooth it out.

Use a toothpick to swirl the muffin batter to create a pattern in the muffins.

Top the muffins with the streusel and place them in the oven to bake.
