directions

Step 1

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°.

Lightly spray twelve 2 3/4 inch x 1 1/2 inch nonstick muffin cups with nonstick spray.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt until well combined.Set aside.

Step 4

In another medium bowl, using a handheld electric mixer set at high speed, beat the brown sugar, pumpkin, yogurt, egg, oil and ginger until frothy (about 2 minutes).

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the pumpkin mixture. Using a spoon, stir just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups.

Serve warm or completely cool on the rack at room temperature.
