Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree canned
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup 2% greek yogurt plain or vanilla
  • 1/4 cup veggie oil
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
  • 1 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a muffin pan with muffin liners and set it aside.
  • Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
  • In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, and Greek yogurt.
  • Once combined, beat in the oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-blended.
  • Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
  • In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
  • Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
  • Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients.
  • Stir until just incorporated; the batter will be thick.
  • Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  • Step 5: Fill Muffin Pan and Bake
  • Scoop the batter into the lined muffin pan, distributing it evenly between the muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Step 6: Cool and Serve
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove them from the pan to cool completely on a wire rack.
