Ingredients

• 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup honey or pure maple syrup
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, honey or maple syrup, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined—do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

If using chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Muffins can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
