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 are a great way to use up leftover berries. I had a bunch of blueberries and raspberries that were about to go bad, so I threw them in these muffins and they turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of almonds, but I still enjoyed these muffins. The berries are tart and tangy, and they balance out the sweetness of the muffins perfectly.

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These muffins are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little bit of extra milk next time.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my muffins didn't rise very much. They still tasted good, but they were a bit dense.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my muffins turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
