Where do I get almond oil?
Many gourmet markets have it and I often find it at Marshalls, you can definitely use canola oil or even peanut oil in this recipe, but it is fun to try different oils sometimes.

I like this muffin recipe very much, but I don’t want to use the milk that is required because of allergies. What can I substitute with, also to make it Parve, instead of making it dairy/milchig? I would like to use it for Sukkoth? Hope to be hearing your answer soon. ShanaTova
I would think that any non dairy milk sub would work, rice milk, soy milk, almond milk or even coconut milk should all be fine. Let us know what you choose and how they come out.
