TUTTI-FRUTTI MUFFINS

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.

These muffins were a hit with my family! They're so moist and fluffy, and the tutti frutti adds a fun burst of flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.
