This Yogurt Recipe for Pumpkin Muffins has all the excellent flavors you love when it comes to pumpkin muffins, but without all the extra calories. These low-calorie Yogurt Pumpkin Muffins are made with one whole cup of canned pumpkin puree, and my friends today are not skimping on the pumpkin flavor. They are also made from vegetable oil and Greek yogurt, making them so soft and moist, and there is no sugar in them, of course.
These muffins are muffins with pumpkin puree. They are not made with filling, so make sure you have 100 percent pumpkin in your pumpkin puree. Because it is much sweeter and that could defeat the whole point of these muffins being healthy, you don’t want to end up using pie filling in this recipe. I had to replace it with maple syrup or honey because this healthy Pumpkin Muffins Yogurt is made entirely without sugar. Use which one you want, feel free to use. It really doesn’t matter. They are simply acting as a sweetener. And I made sure to put two teaspoons of vanilla extract in this recipe to really amplify the flavor. I used maple syrup because I absolutely love it and I like anything maple-flavored.
You might wonder why you use Greek yogurt and not just regular yogurt for those of you who aren’t used to baking with Greek yogurt? Well, there’s less lactose in Greek yogurt, which means there’s less sugar than regular yogurt, and while it’s much denser, it’s lower in carbohydrates, lower in fat, and high in protein. It also has a somewhat tangy taste that combines well with sweet baked goods. In this Pumpkin Muffins Yogurt recipe, I chose to use 2 percent Greek yogurt because it is full of fat and therefore richer in flavor. I don’t suggest using non-fat Greek yogurt because the taste and texture of the muffins might most likely change. For this Pumpkin Muffins Yoghurt recipe, you can use either plain or vanilla yogurt.
There’s also no butter and no milk in this recipe because of Greek yogurt and oil.
