Pumpkin Breakfast Parfait
I stole this idea from a friend of mine who brought pumpkin and yogurt parfaits to breakfast meetings in the fall. It's a perfect start to a brisk fall or winter day, with sweet pumpkin, warm spices, and tangy yogurt. —fiveandspice
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée (i use canned)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup, plus more to taste
- 2 pinches ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch ground ginger
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or vanilla if you prefer)
- granola for sprinkling on top, if desired
Directions:
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together the pumpkin, maple syrup, and spices. Taste and add a little more maple syrup if you want.
- In a bowl or glass, make alternating layers of the pumpkin-spice mix and the yogurt until you've used them up. Then, sprinkle a little granola on top if you want a touch of crunch. Serve.
