Favorite Pumpkin Yogurt

With minimal ingredients, low added sugar, and the easiest method, this Pumpkin Yogurt is such a yummy breakfast or snack to share. Top with granola, fresh fruit, or serve on its own.

Whenever I wind up with a leftover canned pumpkin puree in my fridge, I love to use it to make my Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip or this Pumpkin Yogurt. And this pumpkin spice yogurt has been a total hit with my kids. You might be surprised at how easy it is to make homemade flavored yogurt that tastes this good!

We love this plain, topped with blueberries, Sauteed Apples, or my Lower Sugar Granola. It’s so yummy! You can serve it in a bowl with a spoon or in a reusable pouch—it’s creamy enough to work well either way.

Ingredients You Need

Here’s a look at what you need to make this easy Pumpkin Yogurt.

• Greek yogurt: This is the base of the pumpkin yogurt and it gives it creaminess. I usually use yogurt made with whole milk but this recipe will work with a lower fat option, too.
• Cream cheese: I like to add a little softened cream cheese to thicken the yogurt. If you don’t have any or prefer not to use it, simply replace it with additional yogurt.
• Pumpkin puree: You can use canned pumpkin puree or Pumpkin Baby Food here, as both work similarly.
• Honey or maple syrup: A little of this rounds out the flavors in the yogurt. If you prefer not to use added sugars, use a little applesauce or mashed ripe banana instead.
• Pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract: These 2 ingredients add the classic pumpkin spice coziness. (If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can use cinnamon.)

TIP: To make this dairy-free, just start with a dairy-free yogurt and skip the cream cheese.

How to Store

Store in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. If the mixture separates at all, just give it a stir before serving.

Best Tips for Success

• You can beat with a hand mixer if you want, though it’s not necessary if you let the cream cheese soften to room temperature.
• Turn it into dessert by topping each portion with shaved chocolate, mini chocolate chips, or a little Chocolate Magic Shell.
• Or just top with a little extra cinnamon, chopped pecans or walnuts, help seeds, or Nut-Free Granola.
• Be sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling (which is much sweeter).
