  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 3/4 cup AP flour
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed meal
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line your muffin tins with paper or silicone liners and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, coconut sugar, and vanilla. When it is combined, add the Greek yogurt, milk, pumpkin, and eggs. Whisk until combined.
  3. To the same bowl, add all of the dry ingredients: the flour, rolled oats, flaxseed meal, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  4. Transfer the batter to the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup totally full.
  5. Bake in the 400 degree oven for 5 minutes, then turn the tray 180 degrees and reduce the heat to 350 degrees. Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin does not come out with raw batter on it. Allow to cool on a baking rack before removing muffins from tin. Enjoy!
