A spiced pumpkin yogurt bowl topped with maple oats and nuts for a cozy, energizing snack or breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Yogurt Base

01 - 1 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
02 - 1/4 cup pumpkin purée
03 - 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup
04 - 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
05 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
06 - A tiny pinch of fine sea salt

→ Pumpkin Pie Crumble

07 - 1/2 cup rolled oats
08 - 1/4 cup raw pecans or walnuts, roughly chopped
09 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or brown sugar
10 - 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
11 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 - A tiny pinch of fine sea salt

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and uniform in color. Adjust sweetness and spice to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors.
02 - In a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, combine rolled oats and chopped nuts. Drizzle with maple syrup or brown sugar and melted coconut oil or butter. Add ground cinnamon and salt. Stir continuously for 5-8 minutes until golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate and cool completely.
03 - Scoop the chilled pumpkin yogurt base into a bowl. Sprinkle with the cooled oat and nut crumble. Repeat layers if desired. Optionally garnish with extra pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup drizzle, toasted pepitas, dried cranberries or dates, or fresh fruit like sliced apples. Serve immediately.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Chilling the yogurt mixture enhances the flavor integration. Cooling the crumble immediately prevents sogginess.
