Let’s get started
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 12 pieceĀ muffin tin with liners.
In a large bowl whisk togetherĀ theĀ 5 ingredients : pumpkin puree, oil, sugar, yogurt and eggs just until well combined.
In other bowl stir together dried ingredients: flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
Add the dry ingredients to the puree cream and whisk until everything is incorporated.
