Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup organic granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • cup canola oil
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 12 cavity muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a smaller container such as a liquid measuring cup, stir together the milk, oil, lemon juice, lemon extract, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
