Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

These muffins freeze well. Let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
To reheat, microwave for 20-30 seconds or toast in a toaster oven.
