These Healthy Greek Yogurt Pumpkin Muffins are packed with protein and fiber, sweetened with maple syrup, and incredibly moist thanks to Greek yogurt. Perfect for a cozy fall breakfast or a crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure pumpkin)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons pepitas (pumpkin seeds) for topping (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, melted coconut oil (or butter), eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to fold gently until just combined (a few lumps are okay; do not overmix).
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. If using, sprinkle pepitas and turbinado sugar evenly over the tops.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter; lumps are fine. Room temperature ingredients help ensure even baking. For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt and coconut oil. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend. Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
