Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°. Line a muffin pan with paper or foil liners, then coat with nonstick spray.
For the batter, combine flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
Whisk together yogurt, banana, egg yolks, and 3 Tbsp. butter in a bowl until smooth, then stir into dry ingredients to combine.
Whip egg whites in a bowl with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Fill each well of the muffin tin three-quarters full.
For the streusel, stir walnuts, flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Divide evenly among muffins. Bake muffins until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, about 15–20 minutes. Serve warm.
![Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Overfolding will cause the whites to lose their volumizing effect.](http://images.ctfassets.net/uw7yiu2kuigc/d06d3d779bd55efeb1c70d1be4d4df38143e5356445ebc99451de37312e5a876/a1ff9d957631d257f733943fb739384e/muffins-fold.jpg)
Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Overfolding will cause the whites to lose their volumizing effect.
