Ingredients to Make Pumpkin Parfaits
- Greek yogurt. Use your favorite brand and flavor.
- Pumpkin puree. If you have homemade pumpkin puree, this is a great place to use it. Otherwise, you can use your favorite brand of canned pumpkin puree. Use the leftover pumpkin puree to make pumpkin bark or pumpkin pie dip!
- Maple syrup. For a little extra sweetness. If you are using plain Greek yogurt, you might want a little more maple syrup.
- Granola. Use your favorite granola to sprinkle and layer into the pumpkin parfaits. If you have homemade granola, use that!
