Strawberry crunch muffins

Strawberry season is just a couple of weeks away and I can not wait to get over to Lyman Orchards in Middlefield, which is near my house and offers pick-your-own for all types of fruit, including strawberries. Pick-your-own is a wonderful way to get fresh fruits on the cheap, plus it's a nice way to spend a little time outdoors.

Topping:
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c flour
1/2 c chopped pecans
1/4 c oatmeal
3 tbsp butter, melted

Muffins:
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 stick butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c milk
1 c sliced strawberries

Combine all the ingredients for the topping and set aside.

In a separate bowl combine the ingredients for the muffins. Fold in the strawberries. Scoop mixture into muffin tins. Sprinkle the topping over the batter. Bake 20-25 minutes 350 degrees until a toothpick inserted in center muffin comes out clean.
