- Mix together the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg in large bowl and set aside.
- Cream the butter with the brown sugar and white sugar for 3 minutes in a mixer with a paddle attachment, until it's light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and beat until combined. Reduce the speed to low and add in 1/3 of the flour mixture with 1/2 of the yogurt.
- scrape down the sides of the bowl and add another 1/3 of the flour and the remaining yogurt. Scrape down the sided and add in the remaining flour, mixing until just combined.

For the Crumble
- Mix all ingredients (excludiing the chocolate chips) together with two forks until large, buttery crumbs form.
- Fill your muffin tins 3/4 full with the batter and top with a pinch of crumble topping. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes. They are done when they are golden brown and you can test with a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs attached.
- Add some mini chocolate chips to the muffins right out of the oven. Leave in the pan for 5 minutes, then cool on a wire rack before serving.
