Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Combine finely chopped pecans, maple syrup or honey, melted butter, and water in a bowl, mixing until a sticky dough forms. Press firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup.
  3. Bake the crust for 13-14 minutes until lightly browned.
  4. Beat the reduced-fat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, vanilla, and egg until just combined.
  5. Spoon the pumpkin filling into each baked crust, filling just below the top of the liners.
  6. Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cheesecakes for 17-20 minutes, until they jiggle slightly in the center.
  7. Allow the cheesecakes to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the fridge to chill completely.
