Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1 cup rice milk or soy milk
- 3/4 cup organic sugar
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with vegetable cooking spray.
- 2. Grate the zest from the lemon into a large bowl. Squeeze juice and add to the zest. Whisk in vinegar, oil, rice or soy milk, and sugar.
