1 TBS almond extract
3 cups flour

Preheat oven to 350. Beat together the eggs, sugar and oil. Add in milk, salt, baking powder, poppy seeds, vanilla,almond extract and flour. Mix well. For muffins, line or grease muffin pan and bake for 15-20 minutes. For mini muffins bake 10-12 minutes. For mini loaves bake for 30-40 minutes and for regular loaves bake for 50-60 minutes. The tops should be browned and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

For the glaze:
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 tsp butter, melted

In a saucepan over low heat, combine all ingredients. Warm in pan until the sugar is dissolved. Dunk warm muffins in glaze or drizzle over loaves. Enjoy.
