Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If using add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in now.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
