1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups milk

2 teaspoons almond extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat together the eggs, sugar and vegetable oil. Stir in milk, vanilla and almond extract.  In a medium bowl, combine salt, baking powder, and flour.

Let's Dish
My kids love muffins, especially for breakfast, and this is one of the better recipes I've tried.  I'm not sure why, but these muffins rise like no other muffin I've ever made -- almost to the point of looking a bit goofy at times.  Not that it matters, because they taste wonderful.  As an alternative to sprinkling with almonds, try dipping the tops in almond flavored glaze while the muffins are still warm.  This recipe makes 12 muffins, or three mini-loaves.

  7. Just cooked these muffins. Turned out great; Only wish I had filled the cups a little fuller so they all had little muffin tops. I added half a cup less sugar then listed and put in a cup of whole wheat flour, 2 cups all purpose flour. Ended up with extra batter that I put into my waffle maker. Almond poppy seed waffles a really yummy too! LOL
