Ingredients

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust.
Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Fill the Cups: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in each cupcake liner, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
Cool: Allow the mini cheesecakes to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serve: Remove the mini cheesecakes from the muffin tin and enjoy chilled. They can be topped with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
