Prep Time 15 minutes
Bake Time 25 minutes
Servings: 12 muffins
Course: Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin purée
  • 1 ¼ cups white whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Prep the Oven & Pan
    Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and lightly spray if needed.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
    Whisk together oil, maple syrup or honey, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla. Stir in pumpkin purée until smooth.
  3. Add the Dry Ingredients
    Stir in baking soda, spices, and salt. Add flour and oats, then gently fold until just combined. Don't overmix.
  4. Fill the Muffin Cups
    Divide batter evenly among 12 cups. Sprinkle with rolled oats, or fold in chocolate chips or chopped pecans if desired.
  5. Bake
    Bake at 325°F for 24–29 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The center should reach about 200°F.
  6. Cool & Serve
    Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Let them cool before serving or storing.
