Poppy seed muffins

Ingredients:
Muffins:
3 eggs
2 1/2 c. sugar
1 1/8 c. vegetable oil
1 1/2 c. milk
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 T. poppy seeds
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp. almond extract
3 c. flour

Glaze:
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. milk (or you could use orange juice for a little zip)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
2 tsp. butter

Directions for muffins:
Beat together the eggs, sugar and vegetable oil. Add in milk, salt, baking powder, poppy seeds, vanilla, almond extract and flour. Mix well. Bake in paper lined muffin cups (filled 3/4 full) at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. The tops should be a light golden brown and the centers should come out clean.
Directions for glaze:
In a saucepan over low heat, combine all ingredients. Warm in pan until sugar is dissolved.

Dip the tops of the muffins into the glaze while the muffins are still warm and put on a cooling rack to cool. Once glaze has set, they are ready to eat.

This has been my favorite recipe thus far. They are delicious in the morning and my kids love them.
