Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir using a whisk.
  3. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, fold gently using a spatula until just combined.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare muffin tin with liners. Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
