As a YoCrunch Ambassador I get to try their new flavors when they hit store shelves. We eat a lot of yogurt-it’s one of my favorite snack foods-but I also use it in cooking. This month we received the new Pumpkin Pie parfait, made with real pumpkin and cinnamon, and a graham cracker crumble for topping. Since the weather had turned chilliy, I had been wanting to make a batch of pumpkin muffins but didn’t have all the ingredients. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to “kill two birds with one stone,” so to speak. The pumpkin filling, the yogurt and the topping for the muffins were all included. Here’s my super simple recipe that makes 12 muffins in minutes. They are a great quick breakfast or snack.
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg
- 2 (4 ounce cups) Pumpkin Pie Spice Yogurt (from a package of four)–set graham cracker topping aside
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons milk
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. Add egg, oil, milk and yogurt. Mix until blended. Pour batter into greased muffin cups. Top with the graham cracker coating. Bake for fifteen minutes at 350 or until a knife inserted in the muffins comes out clean.
If you would like to try a different flavor that is perfect for fall, YoCrunch also makes an Apple Pie yogurt. Just follow the recipe and substitute two cups of Apple Pie yogurt for the Pumpkin spice. An added bonus is that the vanilla yogurt used in YoCrunch is fat free. There are several Gluten free varieties as well that my daughter enjoys. Have you tried the new Pumpkin Spice YoCrunch? What did you think?
These look so good! I would love to make them!
These look absolutely amazing … LOVE the twist of the Pumpkin Pie yogurt.. that sounds interesting.. thanks for sharing, will have to look for it in the store next time I go.
I have been looking for a new pumpkin recipe to try this year, and I think I found it!
I love the idea of using yogurt as one of the ingredients for these muffins. I would love to try these and I am sure that they are delicious and probably healthier to eat.
Pumpkin pie yogurt muffins sound great and the Pumpkin Pie parfait sounds intriguing. Being a YoCrunch Ambassador might be a good idea too. Thanks for sharing.
This does look delicious! I have never tried the combination but it sounds so good!
That’s unique! YOGURT??? Cool!
These look so yummy!!! I cant wait to make them now!
I have never ever had these before and now I really want to make them. These are just perfect for the season and look pretty easy to make. Thanks for sharing this recipe and for posting this one.
I saw yogurt and was thinking, yogurt for baking? Never knew that you could do that. Wow! I’m going to have to try it. Thanks for sharing.
These sound delicious and I know I would love the Apple Pie yogurt too! Pumpkin and Apple are two of my favorite foods.
That sounds delicious, perfect for this time of year.
I would have never though to use Yogurt in baking, thanks for that tip
What an interesting idea; I’ve never seen that yogurt before. I like the sound of the apple pie one too!
What a unique way to make a tasty treat!
This sounds and looks really good for sure. Bite size stuff never lasts long in our household because they grab as they go. Thanks for sharing.
These look amazing! I would worry that they are bite size and would be gone way too fast lol
Coming from a hard core pumpkin addict, you just made my day!!
Oh yum! The muffins look so good and the yogurt does, too! Will have to pick some up on our next shopping trip!
I love how moist and flavorful these muffins are!
I haven’t seen a recipe with pumpkin and yogurt before but this looks so yummy. It’s good to try new things
I am a wicked pumpkin addict and I think these sound amazing. I definitely want to try them!
This sounds really good! I am such a pumpkin addict. 🙂
Definitely yummy just to look at! I’d love to pair this with coffee in the morning.
Those yogurts look so yummy and so does your recipe using them! I love yogurt too- the ones without processed sugar are so good for you (and even with the processed sugar the probiotics help).
I definitely have to look for that pumpkin pie yogurt!! Me loves pumpkin anything!! The Apple pie sounds yummy too. Don’t know of I would bother making muffins just for me–but they sound mighty tempting as well.
Those sound wonderful. My Daughter loves pumpkin anything, so I am going to show her these and see if she wants me to make them for Thanksgiving breakfast. What a great way to start the day.
oh looks so yummy
