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 vegetable 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
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with muffin liners and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, and Greek yogurt. Beat in the vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla essence until smooth and well blended.
In another large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick; be careful not to overmix to ensure the muffins stay light and fluffy.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious pumpkin muffins!
Notes
These muffins bake best when not overmixed
Allow to cool completely before removing from pan
Use fresh pumpkin puree for best flavor
Store in an airtight container to maintain moistness
Avoid overbaking to keep muffins soft and tender
