Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare muffin pan with liners or grease it with vegetable oil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, and Greek yogurt until smooth. Gradually mix in vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Scoop the batter into muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon on top.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  7. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
