I love yogurt and all of my kids do too, so we go through a lot of it at our house! Yoplait has several seasonal flavors available right now, and I was excited to try the Yoplait light Pumpkin Pie flavor – it really does taste like pumpkin pie, but with a lot less effort (and calories too)! I decided to make a Pumpkin Spice granola to layer with this yogurt for a fun after school treat for the whole family to enjoy. These little parfaits are so easy to put together and are the perfect fall snack- no need to wait until Thanksgiving for a little taste of pumpkin pie!
PUMPKIN PIE GRANOLA PARFAITS
- 5 cups rolled oats (if you want to add chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans), do 3 cups of oats and 1 cup nuts instead)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, warmed to liquid form
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3 Tbsp canned pumpkin
- Yoplait light Pumpkin Pie yogurt – I used one 6 oz container to make 2 mini parfaits
Preheat oven to 325 and lightly grease a large baking sheet with a raised edge.
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, salt, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. In another bowl, whisk together the honey, brown sugar, coconut oil, vanilla and canned pumpkin. Add the wet mixture to the oat mixture and stir until well combined. Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minute intervals, stirring in between each interval. The granola is ready when all of it is golden brown and no longer moist (mine was ready after about 55 minutes). Allow to cool completely and then layer the granola with Yoplait light Pumpkin Pie yogurt in single serving dishes. Store any remaining granola in an airtight container for about a week.
Walmart carries the Yoplait light Pumpkin Pie flavor as well as lots of other seasonal flavors!
