Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or line 12 muffin tins.
In a medium sized bowl sift together the flour, baking powder and the salt.
In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar. After the mixture is pale and fluffy, add the eggs one at a time mixing until they are incorporated into the batter. Whisk in the vanilla.
Next, add half the flour to the batter and stir in gently. Then add the yogurt and mix in the remaining flour. Once it is all incorporated, and the strawberries & almonds. Reserving a few almonds for the top. Stir to combine.
Pour batter into your prepared muffins tins and top with remaining almonds and bake anywhere from 15 - 20 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center and when just a few crumbs come off, it is done.
