Raspberry Almond Streusel Muffins

Teresa Ambra
These lovely muffins are a fantastic choice for holiday and special occasion breakfasts. They're filled with raspberries and raspberry-flavored Greek yogurt. They're topped with a brown sugar and an almond streusel topping and then a lovely vanilla cream glaze.
