I didn’t have enough honey, but it was sweet enough without it.

I made a few changes- I used lactose free greek yogurt and a TSP of apple pie mix instead, and reduced the sugar to 100g and added vanilla extract to the batter. I swapped the almonds for pecans as no whole almonds. These needed about 18 mins in the oven. They are really nice, light and tasty and the pecans were so good in it! I'd definitely make again and maybe just use the pecans rather than almonds next time too.

The family thought these were excellent - I made two batches today and still we don't have any leftovers. I used plain flour and sliced almonds. One-third of the amount of topping is enough. ETA: also good as pop cakes. Bake for 20 mins at 180C.

I omitted the almonds because of family member with nut allergy. The muffins were a delight - a perfect balance of cinnamon and sweetness, and very light. Muffins are so easy and foolproof and because these are extremely tasty I can see them featuring again and again.
