Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Line bottom of 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and lightly grease sides.

  • Add pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup. Beat until well combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until incorporated.
  • Mix in vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until just combined. Don't overmix.
  • Pour filling over pre-baked crust. Smooth top with spatula.
