Ingredients

    * Cooking spray
    * 1 cup all-purpose flour
    * 1 cup whole-grain pastry flour
    * 1 teaspoon baking soda
    * 1/2 teaspoon salt
    * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    * 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    * 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    * 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    * 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
    * 3 tablespoons maple syrup
    * 1/4 cup canola oil
    * 2 large eggs
    * 1 cup canned pumpkin
    * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    * 3/4 cup lowfat plain yogurt
    * 1/4 cup raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a muffin pan with 12 paper liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and whole-wheat flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.

In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, maple syrup, oil and 1 egg until combined. Add the other egg and whisk well. Whisk in the pumpkin. Whisk in the flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the yogurt. Whisk just until combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan and sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles. Bake for 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of 1 of the muffins comes out clean.

Remove muffins from pan and cool completely on the rack.
