Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using dark chocolate chips or walnuts, fold them into the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy the muffins warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
