Ingredients
  

2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or freshly made)

1/4 cup maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 cup granola (store-bought or homemade)

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Whipped cream (for garnish, optional)

Pumpkin spice for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pumpkin Yogurt Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir until all ingredients are well blended and smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup.

    Layer the Cups: Take silicone muffin cups or dessert cups and spoon a layer of the pumpkin yogurt mixture into each cup, filling about halfway.

      Add the Crunchy Layer: Sprinkle a layer of granola on top of the yogurt mixture in each cup, followed by a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts, if using.

        Top with More Yogurt: Add another layer of the pumpkin yogurt mixture on top of the granola, filling the cups to the top.

          Freeze: Cover the cups with plastic wrap or a silicone lid and place them in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

            Serve: When ready to serve, remove the cups from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes for easier scooping. If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin spice for extra flavor and presentation.

              Enjoy: Dig in with a spoon and savor the delightful combination of creamy pumpkin yogurt and crunchy granola!
