Healthy Greek Yogurt Pumpkin Muffins are moist, warmly spiced, and naturally sweetened treats made with whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, and pumpkin puree. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a light dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 cup 2% plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix pumpkin puree, maple syrup (or honey), and Greek yogurt.
  3. Beat in the vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla essence until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly into 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Fold in chopped walnuts, pecans, mini chocolate chips, or raisins for added texture or sweetness.
  • Use sour cream or plant-based yogurt if you don’t have Greek yogurt.
  • Make it vegan by using a flax egg and maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Sprinkle oats, cinnamon sugar, or pumpkin seeds on top for extra flair.
