Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt Parfaits

Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt Parfaits

If you haven’t guessed from the pics, we’re having dessert for breakfast again. In the spirit of pumpkin season (and because Thanksgiving is next month!), we’re starting the day with a helping of pumpkin pie crammed into cute little Greek yogurt parfaits. And for a finishing crunch, they’re topped with a healthy sprinkling of this Pumpkin Spice Pecan Granola.

The pumpkin pie part of these parfaits is the real deal. Only thing missing is the crust, but hopefully the granola will make up for that. Back to the filling though. While super speedy, I just couldn’t bring myself to empty the pumpkin out of the can, mix with spices and maple syrup, and be done. Ever eaten a spoonful of pumpkin directly from the can before? It kind of tastes like the can. And since I was making these parfaits for a very special baby shower brunch, no way I was going to serve metal-tasting pumpkin. So I took the extra, but totally easy, step of baking the pumpkin as if I was making a pie.

There was nothing fancy or complex about this step. Simply whisk the ingredients together in a bowl, pour in a dish, and bake. And in 30 minutes, you’ll have the most glorious, legit pumpkin pie filling. Once the pumpkin is cooled, layer the pumpkin pie filling and vanilla Greek yogurt into small glasses, sprinkle with granola, and drizzle with maple syrup.

If you’re hosting a brunch or are having guests over and want to serve them a healthy, seasonal morning treat, these Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt Parfaits fit the bill. But you can also make these parfaits more of a grab-and-go type of breakfast, especially if you bake the pumpkin ahead of time and keep it in a container in the fridge. Simply skip the layering and top your Greek yogurt with an equal amount of pumpkin pie filling, sprinkle on some granola, and you’re good to go.

    I’ve done a similar take by baking the pumpkin pie mixture in well greased custard cups topped with broken pecans or walnuts. Then I serve them with a half & half mixture of yogurt and whipping cream, beaten to soft peaks with a tiny bit of sweetener (sugar, honey, maple syrup, etc. whatever I have on hand). They are very well received.

        I was wondering what size pan you cook the filling in. Is it suppose to be creamy, like yogurt or more set?

          Hi Ashley, I cooked the filling in a round corningware dish…around the same size as an 8×8 or 9×9 pan. The filling should be similar to the texture of pumpkin pie filling.
