Ingredients

cooking spray
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
1 cup low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt (such as Cabot™)
1 cup white sugar
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup almond flour (such as Bob's Red Mill®)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
2 Combine almonds, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon orange zest, honey, and almond extract in a small mixing bowl until crumbly. Set topping aside.
3 Stir melted butter, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon orange zest together in a small bowl. Stir yogurt, 1 cup sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together in another small bowl until evenly blended.
4 Whisk flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add butter and yogurt mixtures. Beat with an electric hand mixer on low speed until just combined.
5 Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each almost to the top. Spoon on the almond topping and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.
