Tutti-Frutti Muffins image

Inspired by RSC#11 ingredients. While I had to use white flour as a contest ingredient- I tried to compensate with other healthy ingredients. I hope you enjoy these soft fruity muffins. They seem like something you would buy at a bakery! If you like a lot of streusel double it. The glaze is optional but adds a nice fruity sweet touch. You could also try this as a loaf baked at 350F.

Overall, these muffins were a success. They were moist and flavorful, and the tutti frutti added a nice touch. I would definitely make them again.

These muffins were a disaster! They were dry, crumbly, and had no flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These muffins were a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I might try adding some extra moisture next time.
