Ingredients
Yogurt Mixture
- 1/2 cup unsweetened dairy-free yogurt
- Vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste, to taste (optional)
Pumpkin Mixture
- 1/3 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Other
- 1-2 handfuls granola (maple or your favorite flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare Yogurt Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened dairy-free yogurt with vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste if using. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Prepare Pumpkin Mixture: In a separate small bowl, mix together the pure pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and maple syrup until thoroughly combined to create a smooth, spiced pumpkin blend.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently swirl the spiced pumpkin mixture into the yogurt mixture using a spoon or spatula. The goal is to ribbon the pumpkin flavor throughout the yogurt without fully blending it, creating an attractive swirl effect.
- Assemble Parfait: If desired, take a jar or glass and add half of the pumpkin-yogurt mixture as the first layer. Follow with a layer of granola to add texture and crunch. Repeat the layering with the remaining pumpkin-yogurt mixture and top with additional granola.
- Serve and Enjoy: Your vegan pumpkin swirl yogurt parfait is ready to eat immediately. Enjoy this refreshing, healthy fall-inspired treat as a quick breakfast or snack.
