Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup pure pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground ginger

A pinch of salt

1/2 cup granola (for topping)

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pumpkin Yogurt Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, pure pumpkin puree, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

    Taste and Adjust: Taste the pumpkin yogurt and adjust the sweetness as needed by adding more honey or maple syrup. Mix again if additional sweetener is added.

      Assemble the Snack Cups: In individual serving cups or small bowls, begin layering by adding a couple of spoonfuls of the pumpkin yogurt mixture at the bottom.

        Create Swirls: Using a spoon or a small spatula, gently swirl some of the pumpkin yogurt mixture to create a marbled effect. Layer more yogurt and pumpkin mix until the cups are filled.

          Top it Off: Sprinkle granola on top of each cup for a crunchy texture. If using, scatter the chopped pecans or walnuts over the granola for added flavor and crunch.

            Garnish (Optional): For a fresh touch and a pop of color, garnish each cup with a mint leaf.

              Chill (Optional): For an extra refreshing treat, you can chill the snack cups in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.

                Serve: Enjoy these delightful Pumpkin Yogurt Swirl Snack Cups immediately as a healthy snack or dessert, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
