Why I love this recipe

My husband makes amazing pumpkin pie, so even just the smell of pumpkin pie spice makes me think of cozy holidays at home when he bakes. While this yogurt isn’t as decadent as the real deal, the creamy yogurt and pumpkin pie flavor is something we always look forward to. It takes no time at all to make, because I know feeding your kids can easily become a full time job.

And, this is probably different from the yogurt you usually serve your kids. Sometimes it takes a new recipe to get them excited about a food again, if they seem to be a little tired of the same old yogurt. I swear, the pumpkin spice flavor really makes you feel like you’re having a little bit Thanksgiving dessert!

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Yogurt

I like to use plain, full fat yogurt in this recipe. I tried it with Greek yogurt and it was okay but I preferred the texture of the non-Greek yogurt. Definitely don’t use fat-free Greek yogurt, if you can avoid it. Without the fat you lose out on the richness.

You can definitely serve this yogurt on its own for a snack. Serve it with some graham crackers crumbled on top or chocolate chips to make it more of a treat. We also like to use apple slices to make it a pumpkin yogurt dip!

For breakfast, or a heavier snack, I would pair it with some granola or chopped nuts on top.

Ingredients Needed for Pumpkin Pie Yogurt

Make sure to just get pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling. The cans look similar!

Recipe FAQs

1. What is vanilla powder? It’s not protein powder, it’s essentially like vanilla extract but in powdered form. I prefer using it in foods that you’re not cooking or baking so there’s no alcohol flavor. Here is one. You could omit this or use a dash of vanilla extract in its place.
2. What kind of granola do you like? I don’t typically make homemade granola, though I’m sure that would be delicious. Lately we’ve been buying the Cascadian Farms no added sugar granolas.

Want to turn it into pumpkin pie parfaits?

In a small bowl or mason jars add a layer of crumbled graham cracker, then a layer of the pumpkin pie yogurt, a layer of vanilla yogurt (I like Chobani less sugar vanilla or Siggi’s whole milk vanilla), then repeat the layers until you reach the top!

Or, make an overnight oats pumpkin parfait, layering your favorite overnight oats recipe with the pumpkin yogurt.
