Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter until it resembles a sandy texture.
  3. Spoon the crust mixture into each muffin cup, pressing down firmly to form a solid base. Bake for 11-12 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely.
  4. Combine Neufchâtel cream cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger in a bowl. Beat on high for 5-6 minutes until smooth.
  5. Fill each muffin cup with approximately 3 tablespoons of the pumpkin filling, leaving space at the top.
  6. Transfer the muffin pan to the refrigerator and chill for 6-8 hours or overnight.
  7. Remove the cheesecakes from the muffin pan using the liners and serve chilled with a sprinkle of cinnamon or whipped cream.
