Servings: 4
Calories: 160kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup can pumpkin puree
- 1 cup plain yogurt (whole milk yogurt preferred)
- ⅓ cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey for kids over age 1)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Fresh fruit, shredded coconut, granola, sprinkles, or jam, for topping, as desired.
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a medium bowl except the optional toppers. Stir together to make a smooth mixture.
- Add to airtight containers (I like to do small snack-size ones but you can do one larger container, too) and store in the fridge for at least 2 hours and up to 3-5 days.
- Serve cold with desired toppings.
Notes
- Store in the fridge in airtight containers for up to 3-5 days.
- Dairy-free: Use nondairy Greek-style yogurt.
- Use 1/4 cup applesauce and omit the maple syrup to make this added-sugar-free.
- You can make this a little smoother by blending the mixture up in a blender before popping it into the fridge or using ground chia seeds.
- Top with fresh fruit (like blueberries), Sauteed Apples, granola, or other desired toppers.
