- In a small bowl, combine the almonds, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter. Mix together with your hands until crumbly.
- Divide batter evenly into muffin cups. Sprinkle muffins with the almond streusel topping. Bake for 22 to 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let muffins cool on a wire rack.

- Note-muffins will keep in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 days. You can freeze the muffins for up to 1 month, but don't freeze with the glaze. Thaw the muffins and then add the glaze.
