Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (245g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) maple syrup
  • ¼ cup (40g) coconut sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips, chopped pecans, or dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined (a few lumps are fine). Do not overmix.
  5. If using add-ins, fold them in gently.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Batter will be thick.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For taller domed tops, let batter rest in muffin cups for 10 minutes before baking. For best texture, use room temperature ingredients. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
