Oh My Blood Orange Olive Oil Muffins

Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons orange zest
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons Sicilian White Lemon Balsamic Vinegar
2 tablespoons whole milk
3/4 cup Blood Orange extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Powdered sugar, for sifting over the top of muffins when done
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place paper liners in a 12-cup muffin tin.

Blend together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer beat the sugar, eggs, and zests in a large bowl until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the vinegar and milk. Gradually beat in the oil. Add the flour mixture and stir just until blended. Chop almonds and add

them to the batter and stir until mixed. Fill the muffin tin almost to the top of the paper liners. Bake until golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Remove the muffins onto a serving platter and let cool for 5 more minutes. Sift powdered sugar over the muffins or glaze with a tablespoon of Blood Orange Olive Oil, 1 cup confectioners powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon orange zest, and 1 teaspoon white vanilla. Add more powdered sugar till desired glaze consistency is reached.

Note: You can add dried cranberries, dates, raisins, etc. to the mix before baking. Even chocolate chips add a different dimension!
