Top it with granola, pepitas, and nut butter for the perfect fall breakfast or snack. High in protein, naturally sweetened, and completely customizable!
Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Yogurt Base (1 serving):
- 6 oz plain or vanilla yogurt (Greek yogurt works great for extra protein; dairy-free yogurt works too)
- ¼ cup pumpkin purée (NOT pumpkin pie filling — pure pumpkin only!)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½–1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to taste)
Optional Toppings:
- Granola (adds the perfect crunch)
- Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- Almond butter or pumpkin butter
- Extra pumpkin purée
- Fresh fruit or nuts
- A drizzle of extra maple syrup
- Chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
Add the yogurt, pumpkin purée, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup to your bowl. Don’t be alarmed if it looks a little weird at first — we’re about to fix that!
Stir everything together vigorously until completely smooth and well combined. You want the pumpkin fully incorporated so every bite is perfectly spiced. This takes about 30 seconds of good stirring.
Now comes the fun part! Add your favorite toppings, I love a generous handful of granola, a sprinkle of pepitas, and a drizzle of almond butter. Grab your spoon and dig in immediately. This is best enjoyed fresh!
Notes
- Greek yogurt is your friend. It makes this SO much creamier and adds 15-20 grams of protein per serving. Total game-changer for keeping you full.
- Make a double batch of the pumpkin-spice mixture. Mix pumpkin purée with the spices and maple syrup in a small container, then just stir a few spoonfuls into your yogurt each morning. Saves time on busy mornings!
- Warm spices are key. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, make your own: mix cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and a tiny pinch of cloves.
- Don’t skip the toppings. They’re what make this feel like a complete, satisfying meal instead of just a snack.
- Use full-fat yogurt if you can. It’s creamier and more satisfying, plus the fat helps you absorb all those good nutrients from the pumpkin.
