Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 ¼ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. sea salt
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • 14.5 oz. can pumpkin puree

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a muffin tray with muffin liners and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, sea salt and cinnamon. Whisk together.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine canned pumpkin, Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, milk, eggs and vanilla extract. Stir using a rubber spatula.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the large mixing bowl with the wet ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to mix until just combined and without clumps.

Notes

  • Fresh blueberries or chocolate chips can be used in this recipe.
  • Another fun addition would be chopped pecans or walnuts. Fold in ½ cup with the blueberries.
  • Store muffins in fridge for 3-4 days or freeze.
