Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup pure pumpkin puree (can be canned or freshly made)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to your preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

A pinch of salt

1/2 cup granola (for topping)

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional for added texture)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Create the Pumpkin Yogurt Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt with the pure pumpkin puree. Add in the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk or spatula to mix everything thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

    Adjust Sweetness: Take a small taste of the pumpkin yogurt mixture. If it needs additional sweetness, gradually stir in more honey or maple syrup until it reaches your desired flavor. Don't forget to mix well if you add more sweetness.

      Layer the Snack Cups: In individual serving cups or small bowls, begin to layer your mixture. Start by spooning a couple of dollops of the pumpkin yogurt mixture into the bottom of each cup.

        Create Swirled Layers: With a spoon or small spatula, carefully swirl in some of the pumpkin yogurt mixture to create a beautiful marbled look. Continue layering more pumpkin yogurt mixture until each cup is filled to your liking.

          Add Crunchy Toppings: Generously sprinkle granola over the top of each cup for a delightful crunch. If you choose to include them, add the chopped pecans or walnuts on top for extra flavor and texture.

            Optional Garnish: For a vibrant pop of color and a refreshing hint, place a small mint leaf on each cup before serving.

              Chill for a Refreshing Treat: If you prefer your snack cups cold, place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving to enhance the freshness.

                Serve and Enjoy: Delight in these Pumpkin Yogurt Swirl Snack Cups as a nutritious snack or a light dessert. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for convenient snacking anytime!
