I keep canned pumpkin in my pantry year-round, specifically for this recipe, but it’s also a great way to use up leftover canned pumpkin.
Optional Toppings (not included in nutrition info)
- 2 tablespoons almonds or pecans
- 1/4 cup low-fat granola
- 1/4 cup Kashi GoLean Crunch cereal
These are great for extra crunch but will add to your points and calories.
Weight Watchers points will vary depending on the type of yogurt and sweetener used. With light Greek yogurt and a no-calorie sweetener, this is typically 2-3 points. Use the WW app to track accurately for your plan.
Tips and Variations
- Use plain Greek yogurt and add a splash of vanilla extract if you want less sugar.
- Stir in nutmeg or clove for a more intense pumpkin spice flavor.
- Make several at once and store them in mason jars in the fridge for grab-and-go breakfasts. They hold up well for up to 3 days.
