Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar or a sugar substitute equivalent
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or regular chocolate chips)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, applesauce, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
