  7. Gently fold in the strawberries.
  8. Divide the batter among the 12 cups, then sprinkle the almond topping evenly over each.
  9. Bake 18 to 22 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Cool in the pan 5 minutes, then move the muffins to a rack and cool at least 15 minutes more before serving.
