Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (45g) rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if needed)
- ½ cup (120g) pumpkin puree (canned, pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
- ½ cup (120g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan)
- ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, or cow’s milk)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (Grade A amber recommended)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ cup (30g) maple granola (for topping)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree and Greek yogurt.
- Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Using an electric hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture for 2-3 minutes until light, airy, and mousse-like with soft peaks.
- In a separate container or jar, add rolled oats and milk of choice. Stir gently to combine.
- Gently fold the whipped pumpkin mousse into the oats mixture until fully blended and creamy.
- Cover the jar or container with a lid and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
- Before serving, stir the oats gently and top with maple granola. Optionally, drizzle extra maple syrup on top.
Notes
Use chilled pumpkin puree and Greek yogurt for a fluffier mousse. Whip for at least 2 minutes to trap air and achieve a light texture. Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired. Store oats in the fridge up to 3 days; keep granola separate until serving to maintain crunch. For vegan version, use coconut yogurt and plant-based milk, and ensure granola is honey-free.
