Step 1

Step 1 Beat together the eggs, 2 1/2 cups of coconut sugar, and canola oil. Add in milk, salt, baking powder, poppy seeds, vanilla, almond flavoring, and flour. Mix well.

Step 2

Step 2 Bake in paper-lined muffin cups (filled 3/4 full or 3 small greased loaf pans) at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15-20 minutes for muffins and 50-60 minutes for loaves. The tops should be browned and a toothpick inserted in the center should come clean.

Step 3

Step 3 Remove muffins as soon as you can while still warm/hot and dunk tops into glaze. Turn the right side up and cool on a cookie rack. With loaves just pour the glaze evenly over the three loaves while still in pans. Let cool to a warm temp. and remove from pans. Yes, it is a little messy but it is really good.

Step 4

Step 4 To Make Glaze: In a saucepan over low heat, combine 3/4 cup sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring, and 2 teaspoons of greek yogurt. Warm in a pan until combined. Pour over loaf pans or dunk muffin tops into glaze when cooled to room temperature. (Omit the glaze altogether if you don't like the mess.)
