Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners or grease lightly with cooking spray oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until evenly combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, oil, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix together using a spatula until just combined and no dry ingredients are visible. Do not overmix.
Fold in the walnuts, if using.
Use a cookie scoop to fill each cavity of the prepared muffin pan 3/4 full (about 1/3 cup batter in each cavity).
Bake for 20-22 minutes until fully cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then remove from the pan and transfer the a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

How to store: Keep leftover pumokin muffins at room temperature for 1-2 days in an airtight container or in the fridge for up to one week. Refrigerating pumpkin muffins will dry them out a bit, but you can reheat them to add some moisture back in.

How to freeze: You can freeze these pumpkin muffins and enjoy them for months! Store in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, allow the pumpkin muffins to thaw overnight in the fridge or for a few hours on the kitchen counter.

Make mini muffins. To make mini muffins instead (for easy portability, snacking, or portion control), pour the batter into a mini muffin pan instead of a 12-cup muffin pan. Mini muffins are toddler-friendly and easy to pack in lunchboxes. Note that you’ll also have to reduce baking time — around 7-10 minutes, but every oven is different. Check the center of the muffins for doneness with a toothpick and add a few minutes as needed until completely cooked through.
