Servings: persons

For the streusel topping
1/4 cup unsalted butter, left at room temp for 10 minutes
1 cup rolled oats, not quick cook
1/4 cup plain flour
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
For the muffins
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup natural yoghurt (you can substitute Greek yoghurt)
2 1/2 cups plain flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1
Preheat the oven to 375F and grease a 12 hole muffins tin.
2
Make the streusel first: place all ingredients into a medium sized bowl and rub together until combined and crumbly. You're looking for very coarse breadcrumb size with some larger lumps. Leave to one side.
3
Pour melted and slightly cooled butter into a jug, then add honey, vanilla and eggs. Beat lightly until combined. Leave to one side.
4
Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices into a large bowl and stir until combined.
5
Add in the butter and honey mix and stir briefly. Add in the yoghurt and then stir until the batter is combined and smooth. Don't be tempted to beat/over mix as your muffins will be rubbery.
6
Divide between the muffin holes, filling them level (I use a heaping 2tbsp cookie scoop).
7
Spoon streusel topping on each muffin and press lightly into the muffin mix, so it doesn't all fall off!
8
Place in the oven for 13-15 minutes, until risen, golden and an inserted skewer into the centre comes out clean.
9
Leave to cook in the pan for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
10
Serve either at room temp, or warmed with a little butter.
11
Muffins will keep in an airtight container, at room temp, for 4 days.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
