Ingredients

1 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
2/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 egg
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/4-1/3 cup maple syrup (OR honey OR brown sugar*)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup wheat bran
1 cup whole wheat flour**
1 tbsp golden flaxseed meal
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds ((pepitas), chopped nuts, bittersweet chocolate chips, dried fruit or 1/3 the fat cream cheese)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray or line one muffin tin, set aside.
In a small glass measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, yogurt, egg, oil, brown sugar, and vanilla.
In a separate mixing bowl whisk together the bran, flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Gradually pour in the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients along with any "mix-ins" (or reserve for the top), folding/mixing just until you see just a bit of dry ingredients (about 17-20 strokes).
Scoop the batter into the prepared pan, dividing evenly between the wells. If you are using pepitas, sprinkle on the tops or if you are using cream cheese, place an teaspoon on top of each muffin and use a knife to gently fold in. Place in the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and spring back when touched. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
