Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, canned pumpkin puree, eggs, honey, vanilla extract, and non-fat Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, mixing just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.
Step 5
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Enjoy the muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
