Instructions
Muffin Batter
- Preheat oven to 425F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in honey, eggs, yogurt, buttermilk, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold into liquid mixture until batter is just combined. Fill muffin cups to brim with batter and set aside for a moment.
Streusel Topping
- In a small bowl, combine all streusel ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over muffin batter, pressing lightly to adhere crumbs.
