Granola-Topped Strawberry Mini Muffins

These Granola-Topped Strawberry Muffins (based on this recipe from Allrecipes) are a cinch to make.  Since I had some granola on hand, I decided to add them to the muffins for an added crunch, and it sure turned out yummy!

You can make them with or without the granola, but I like them much better with the granola!
