Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) pumpkin purée (100% pure, not pie filling)
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure)
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips or chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin purée, Greek yogurt, eggs, oil, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined (a few lumps are okay). Do not overmix.
  5. If using, fold in chocolate chips or nuts. Reserve a few to sprinkle on top.
  6. Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake on middle rack for 18-22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tops should be golden and spring back when pressed.
  8. Let muffins rest in tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients. Do not overmix the batter. If pumpkin purée is watery, blot with a paper towel before measuring. For taller muffin tops, bake at 375°F for the first 5 minutes, then reduce to 350°F. Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
