This recipe makes 2-3 servings and takes about 10 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients

• 1 Banana – as ripe as possible.

• 1 Cup unsweetened pumpkin puree.

• 1 1/2 Cups plain Greek yogurt, divided – use coconut milk for a dairy-free alternative. You can also use flavored yogurt for a sweeter taste.

• 2 Tablespoons honey or maple syrup.

• 1/4 Teaspoon ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, or apple pie spice.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pumpkin Layer: Add the banana, pumpkin puree, 3/4 cup of Greek yogurt, milk of choice, ground cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice), and salt to a blender. Puree until smooth. A bullet mixer works well, but you can use a wand mixer if that's all you have.

   
   

2. Layer the Mixture: Divide this mixture into 3 or 4 bowls or serving jars.

   
   

3. Add Yogurt Layer: Add a layer of yogurt on top of the pumpkin mixture.

   
   

4. Add Granola: Sprinkle granola over the yogurt layer.

   
   

5. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process with the remaining mixture until all ingredients are used.

   
   

6. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious parfait!
