Yogurt Streusel Muffins

 
 Not the best picture but trust me these are tasty little breakfast muffins.
They are light, airy and have a wonderful taste. I only made half a batch to try out  the recipe and I have to admit that I was quite sad when they were all gone.
This recipe made a great quick breakfast that went so well with a cup of tea - I'm sure coffee would be good too. :)
I subbed in walnuts because I was too lazy to go to the freezer and get out the pecans. (Yeah, I admit it)
Quick and easy to make and sure to please all. 

Happy Baking!

NOTES :

* I used walnuts but pecans were called for in the original recipe. Using pecans will change the calories in the muffins.
