When baking, use Greek yogurt to reduce or replace shortening, oil or butter. This cuts fat and makes muffins extra moist and tender.

  • Pumpkin puree, 2 cup(s)
  • Non-fat plain Greek yogurt, 2 cup(s)
  • Eggs, 2 large
  • Canola oil, ¼ cup(s), or vegetable oil
  • Vanilla extract, 1 tsp(s)
  • All purpose flour, 2½ cup(s)
  • Sugar, 1½ cup(s)
  • Cinnamon, ground, 1½ tsp(s)
  • Baking soda, 1 tsp(s)
  • Ground cloves, 1 tsp(s)
  • Salt, ¼ tsp(s)

Method

Heat oven to 350°F.

Coat two large 8-hole muffin tins with cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl combine pumpkin purée, yogurt, eggs, oil and vanilla.

In another bowl combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, ground cloves and salt.

Using a mixer, slowly combine the wet and dry ingredients until mixed well. Scoop ¼ cup of batter into each muffin well.

Bake for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until muffins spring back when pressed lightly on top and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
