Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup canned pumpkin puree (ensure it’s not pumpkin pie filling)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

1 cup granola (your choice of store-bought or homemade)

1 cup mixed fresh fruits (suggested: sliced bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and diced apples)

Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for topping)

Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pumpkin Yogurt: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the pumpkin puree. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Use a whisk or spatula to blend until the mixture is smooth and evenly mixed. Taste the mixture and, if you prefer it sweeter, gradually add more maple syrup to achieve your desired sweetness.

    Layer the Parfaits: Begin by spooning a few tablespoons of the pumpkin yogurt mixture into the bottom of serving glasses or bowls, creating a base layer.

      Add Granola: Next, sprinkle a layer of granola evenly over the pumpkin yogurt. This will add a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy yogurt.

        Fresh Fruit Layer: Following the granola, add a generous layer of your mixed fresh fruits. You can customize this layer with your preferred fruits for added flavor and color.

          Repeat Layers: Continue to build the parfait by repeating the layers. Aim for a total of three layers, finishing with a layer of the pumpkin yogurt on top for a stunning presentation.

            Top and Garnish: For an extra touch, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts atop the final pumpkin yogurt layer. If you want to make it extra festive, crown the parfait with a dollop of whipped cream.

              Serve: Enjoy the parfaits right away for the best texture or chill them in the refrigerator for up to one hour before serving. These parfaits make for a delightful seasonal treat perfect for any occasion!
