Preheat the oven to 205°C. Lightly grease 9 cups of a standard size muffin tin and set aside.
Make the topping. In a small bowl, whisk together the chopped pecans, coconut palm sugar, and cinnamon. Add the vegan butter to the bowl and mix it in with your fingers, breaking up the bits of butter and working them into the sugar and pecans. Once you have a sandy texture, set aside in the refrigerator.
Make the muffins. In a small bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, ground flax seed, and non-dairy milk. Give it a quick stir and let the mixture thicken for 5 minutes or so.
In a large bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, coconut palm sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk and flax seed mixture, oil, applesauce, vanilla, and citrus zest (if using). Once combined, add the liquid mixture to the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the chopped strawberries as well. Stir the batter together with rubber spatula until JUST combined. There should still be a few little dry flecks of flour in the batter. This is fine!
Using a ⅓ cup measure, portion the batter out into the 9 greased muffin cups. Retrieve your crumble topping from the fridge and sprinkle it evenly over the top of each muffin. Fill the empty muffin cups up to the halfway point with water.
Bake the strawberry crumble muffins for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick/paring knife poked into the center of one comes out clean. Let the muffins cool completely in the pan before eating
