Ingredients
  

1 cup pure pumpkin puree
1 cup whole wheat flour
½ cup rolled oats
2 eggs
⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
½ cup Greek yogurt
¼ cup coconut oil or melted butter
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp ginger
⅛ tsp cloves
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt

Method
 

Prepare Your Pan and Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or grease generously with coconut oil. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup effortless.
      Mix Your Wet Ingredients
        In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until completely smooth and well combined.
          Combine Dry Ingredients
            In a separate bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Mixing dry ingredients separately ensures even distribution of leavening agents.
              Blend Everything Together
                Pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. A few streaks of flour are fine—overmixing creates tough, dense muffins instead of tender ones.
                  Fill and Bake
                    Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops spring back when lightly touched.
                      Cool Completely
                        Let the muffins cool in the pan for five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. This prevents soggy bottoms and allows the texture to set perfectly.
