These Healthy Greek Yogurt Pumpkin Muffins are the perfect solution for that fall craving without the guilt. They come together in just 30 minutes, making them an easy breakfast or a quick snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (210g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • ½ cup (170g) honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup (60ml) coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ cup dark chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, egg, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. If using mix-ins, gently fold them in. Reserve a few to sprinkle on top before baking.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins. Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. For mini muffins, bake 9-12 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
