Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare muffin tin: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or by greasing lightly.
- Mix dry and wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.
- Prepare nut filling: Mix walnuts, pistachios, pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Assemble and bake: Fill muffin cups halfway with batter, add nut mixture, top with remaining batter, and sprinkle extra nut filling. Bake for 18–22 minutes.
- Make honey syrup: Simmer honey, water, lemon juice, and orange blossom water in a saucepan. Pour syrup over warm muffins.
Notes
- Best served slightly warm.
- Honey syrup can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
- For a crunchier top, broil muffins for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking.
