Glazed Strawberry Lemon Streusel Muffins

This is a great way to use up strawberries that are about to spoil!! I have to say that I think there is no point in making a muffin that doesn't have a crumb topping, I think I will go through my muffin recipes again and get rid of those that don't have crumb topping!! I halved the recipe and used almonds because I didn't have pecans.

Glazed Strawberry Lemon Streusel Muffins

1/4 c. chopped pecans
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
2 T flour
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1/2 t. grated lemon peel
1 T butter, melted
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 T fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
2 t. baking powder
1 t. ground cinnamon
1/4 t. salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 c. butter, melted
1 egg
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
1 t. grated lemon peel

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
2. Prepare 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
3. Combine pecans, brown sugar, 2 Tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 t. grated lemon peel in a medium bowl. Add 1 Tablespoon melted butter and stir until crumbly. Set aside.
4. Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice in small bowl, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
5. Combine 1 1/2 cup flour, sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt in large bowl.
