Ingredients

  • 2 cups full fat whole milk Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup finely chopped granola
  • 2 tbsp sprinkles optional

Instructions

For Yogurt Bark

  • In a bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Once combined, spread the mixture into an even layer on a parchment paper lined baking pan into a rectangular shape.
  • Sprinkle the granola and sprinkles evenly across the top of the yogurt mixture. Feel free to add on any of your favorite toppings.
  • Place the pan in a freezer for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, break the bark into small servings and transfer the pieces to a freezer safe ziploc bag or container to store!

For Yogurt Melts

  • In a bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into a piping bag or Ziploc bag with a very small cut at the tip and pipe out small dime-sized circles onto a parchment paper-lined pan. (You will want to make sure that the hole at the tip is very small since the yogurt mixture is a little runny. If your hole size is too large, it will be hard to pipe the circles).
  • Place the pan in a freezer for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, transfer the melts to a freezer safe ziploc bag or container to store!

Notes

  • This is a great snack for teething babies and soothing little gums! I recommend using full fat whole milk Greek yogurt.
  • Do not leave the yogurt bark/yogurt melts at room temperature for too long because they will melt. Store the bark pieces in the freezer.
  • Make sure to transfer the yogurt bark/melts to a freezer safe ziploc bag or container as soon as they fully harden. This will help prevent them from getting freezer burnt.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup used to your liking. You can add in more or less maple syrup as needed. Taste the yogurt after mixing it with the maple syrup and adjust the sweetness level as needed.
  • If you choose to add granola, make sure to avoid granola that contains honey for babies under the age of 1.
  • If you are making yogurt melts, you will want to make sure that the hole at the tip is very small since the yogurt mixture is a little runny. If your hole size is too large, it will be hard to pipe the circles.
