  • 1 cup pumpkin puree 240 g
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 120 g
  • 1/3 cup almond butter 80 g
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup 80 ml
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk 180 ml
  • 1 medium ripe banana mashed (about 100 g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 5 ml
  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour 150 g
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 120 g
  • 1 tbsp baking powder 12 g

  • 2 tsp pumpkin spice blend 4 g
  • 1/4 tsp salt 1 g

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tray with paper liners or lightly grease it
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, yogurt, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth and creamy
  3. Stir in mashed banana and almond milk until the mixture becomes silky and slightly thick
  4. In a separate bowl, combine both flours, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined and no dry streaks remain
  6. Scoop the batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full
  7. Bake until the tops rise and turn lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan briefly before transferring to a rack, allowing the aroma to settle and texture to firm up
