I got this recipe from my mother who as been making it as long as I can remember. It's one of my favorite quick breads; not too sweet and just the right amount of crunch. I make mini loaves every year at Christmas for teacher gifts.
3 cups flour
1 1/8 cups oil
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tbl. poppyseed
1 1/2 tsp. butter flavor
1 1/2 tsp. almond flavor
GLAZE:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp. butter flavor
1/2 tsp. almond flavor
Mix dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix well. Pour into greased and floured loaf pans or bundt pan. Bake at 350ºF for one hour or until crack in top is dry. Brush glaze over warm (not hot) loaves.

Magic Muffins
This recipe came off the side of a Malt-O-Meal box. I made these muffins for Sunday breakfast today; chocolate cereal with 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips added to the batter instead of nuts. They were crispy on top, very chocolatey and yummy! I mixed the batter too much and the tops came out flat, but no one seemed to care.
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup Malt-O-Meal hot cereal, dry (any flavor)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbl. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Stir together until just moistened. Spoon into greased or paper-lined 12-cup muffin pan, filling cups 3/4 full. Bake at 400ºF about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.
VARIATIONS:
Add 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/2 cup coconut, 3/4 cup mashed bananas or 1 tbl. poppy seed to batter. For streusel topping stir together 2 tbl. sugar, 1 tbl. Malt-O-Meal, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. nutmeg. Sprinkle on muffins before baking.
