Shelley: This is a special reward for a good day of school. Since these muffins aren’t high on my “healthy snack” list, I use the mini-muffin pan. I recommend glazing them after they’ve thawed, not before freezing. Add some hot tea and “dress up” clothes and you’ve made a memory!

Assembly Directions:
In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt; mix well*. In medium bowl, combine sour cream, applesauce, oil, 1/2 t. almond extract, and eggs; beat well. Combine with flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Spoon batter evenly into sprayed (or lined) mini-muffin cups. Heat oven to 375°. Bake 12-14 minutes or until tops are lightly brown.
Freezing Directions:
Store in rigid freezer container; label and freeze.
Serving Directions:
Allow muffins to thaw. Combine powdered sugar, almond extract, and enough milk to make a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins, boil some water, and invite a friend for tea!
Comments:
To use as a baking mix, combine the dry ingredients and store in a food saver bag or freezer bag. Label and store the mix. Follow the remaining assembly instructions when mixing and baking the muffins.
