Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 2/3 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C). Keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the temperature down to 375°F (191°C) and continue to bake for 13 more minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of one muffin. If it comes out clean, they’re done.
  • In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, brown sugar, maple syrup, egg whites, greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk them all together until smooth, with no yogurt lumps remaining.
  • Sift the flours, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together into a large bowl. Slowly stir in the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. Get any dry pockets of flour out. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. The batter will be a little chunky and extremely, extremely thick.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups—fill them all the way to the top if you can. If desired, sprinkle a few more mini chocolate chips on top before baking.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C). Keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the temperature down to 375°F (191°C) and continue to bake for 13 more minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of one muffin. If it comes out clean, they’re done.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Muffins stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
