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.

• Add the fruit and nuts and pulse/mix briefly.
• Add the flour, meal, bran and mix until just blended.
• Scoop into greased muffin cups and bake for 23-25 minutes.
• Variations: any milk will do in place of almond milk. If you aren't too concerned about the net carb count, these are good with dried cranberries, chopped apple, raisins, or chopped ginger. Use any chopped nut you please. Or sunflower seeds. Or not.
• In place of the soy flour, you may use a cup of low-carb baking mix. Just reduce the salt and the baking powder by half.
