Strawberry Pecan Streusel Muffins

Teresa Ambra
These amazing muffins puff up beautifully and taste even better than they look! Strawberries and Strawberry flavored Greek Yogurt are included in the muffin base. Then they're topped with a lovely brown sugar and pecan streusel topping before baking. After their baked, a creamy vanilla icing is added on top. Strawberry Pecan Streusel Muffins are great for holiday or special occasion breakfasts.

NOTE: Be sure to stir yogurt before adding to ingredients.
 
NOTE: Milk will not bring the proper consistency in the glaze. Cream is preferred.
 
NOTE: You cannot use the "stand and fill" zip lock bags. You must use one of the old-fashioned bags to pipe the frosting or you'll have a big mess on your hands.
