Whole Wheat Nectarine Muffins with Streusel Topping

Whole wheat nectarine muffins topped with streusel.

This is a nice muffin to make when nectarines are in season. The muffin itself is not very sweet so the streusel adds a nice touch of sweet crunch. You may notice I haven't used a whole lot of streusel; a small amount is perfectly fine. The recipe makes about 9 to 12 muffins depending on how much batter you use for each muffin. When I'm in the mood for oversized muffins that spill over the top of the pan, it makes about 9.
