2 cups Greek yogurt
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 cup granola
1 tablespoon chopped pecans

Directions

In a bowl, I mix the Greek yogurt with pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice until everything is well combined.
Then, I divide the mixture between two serving bowls.
I top each bowl with granola and chopped pecans.
Serve immediately and enjoy.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves 2 and takes about 5 minutes to prepare. It’s perfect when I need something quick, healthy, and satisfying.

Variations

I sometimes switch out the granola for crushed graham crackers for an even more pie-like experience. If I want extra protein, I add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the yogurt mix. For a dairy-free version, I use coconut or almond yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.

storage/reheating

I prefer to enjoy this bowl fresh, but I can store the yogurt mixture (without toppings) in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When I’m ready to eat, I give it a quick stir and add the granola and pecans just before serving to keep them crunchy.

FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt?

Yes, I sometimes use vanilla Greek yogurt to make it even sweeter and dessert-like.

What kind of granola works best?

I usually go for a nutty or cinnamon-flavored granola to complement the pumpkin pie spice.

Is canned pumpkin the same as pumpkin puree?

Yes, as long as it’s 100% pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling, which has added sugar and spices.

Can I make this ahead of time?

I mix the yogurt and pumpkin base ahead, but I always add the toppings just before serving so they stay crunchy.

How can I make this bowl lower in sugar?

I reduce or skip the maple syrup and use unsweetened yogurt. I can also choose a low-sugar granola.

Conclusion

This Pumpkin Pie Yogurt Bowl is a comforting and healthy twist on a classic dessert. I love how simple and versatile it is, making it a go-to choice for a nutritious start to the day or a satisfying snack. It captures the essence of fall in every bite without the guilt.
