I made these moist muffins to take to the office, and they were a hit. Sugared almonds give them a crunchy topping. When strawberries aren't in season, I use individual frozen cut strawberries directly from the freezer.

These muffins were amazing! I used a mix of fresh and frozen berries and they turned out so moist and flavorful. The almond flour gave them a nice dense texture and the muffins were not too sweet. I will definitely be making these again!
