    Pumpkin Greek Yogurt Bark {Just 4 Ingredients!}

    September 13, 2016 by Chrissy Carroll 26 Comments

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Pumpkin greek yogurt bark is where it’s at this fall.  Fo’ real.

    Over the winter, I got some giant cans of pumpkin pie puree on clearance for 1 CENT.  Yes, not 1 dollar – that’s 1 cent.  Of course, I bought about 10, because why not?  They’re a penny!  I set those babies aside in my pantry and figured I’d break them out in the fall.  And now that autumn has pretty much arrived, I decided to take those cans outta the back of the closet and get to cookin’.

    Pumpkin greek yogurt bark seemed like the perfect way to use up some of the puree.  A few weeks ago I came across a strawberry blueberry greek yogurt breakfast bark on Go Eat & Repeat and thought a) this girl is brilliant – how fun is this?!, and b) I can totally make my own fall version of this recipe.  So I did!  It’s delicious and both kids and adults will love it.

    This pumpkin greek yogurt bark is a perfect fall snack or addition to your breakfast! At just 133 calories per serving, this baby still packs in 9 grams of protein. Such a great healthy recipe!

    I know what you’re thinking:  Is it a frozen treat for dessert?  Is it a breakfast?  Is it a snack?  That’s the beauty of this recipe friends – it can be all of them.  I’ve broken the nutrition facts down for you based on a snack-sized portion.  This baby clocks in at just 133 calories and packs 9 grams of protein per serving!

    This recipe also makes a fabulous recovery snack.  Just think about it – you’re coming in from a long weekend run and it’s still a kinda warm outside.  You’re all sweaty and want something refreshing to eat.  If you’ve made these ahead of time, you can quickly pull them out of the freezer to munch on and replenish those muscles!  They’ve got both carbs and protein to help to maximize your recovery.

    And to top it off, this is seriously easy to make.  You mix the greek yogurt and canned pumpkin pie puree together, spread it on some wax paper on a baking sheet, and sprinkle the toppings on.  I used some oat squares cereal (aka the generic version of Life, haha) and fresh-picked raspberries (we love going to the local farm and picking each week!) for toppings.  But you could use anything that floats your boat – other berries or fruit, granola, flax or chia seeds, etc.

      Clearly, I need a bigger freezer….

      Speaking of freezers, if you have the space, consider buying pie pumpkins while they’re in your farmers market, roasting them, and freezing the puree. The canned pumpkin isn’t pumpkin, it’s squash. The taste is similar, but real pumpkin beats it hands down. I make thank-you gifts for folks that donate to my annual charity ride, and people who have tasted my pumpkin pies are shocked that they actually taste like pumpkin — they’ve forgotten what pumpkin tastes like.

      There’s nothing “wrong” with the canned stuff. I just have a strong preference for pumpkin. And the puree holds up really well in the freezer. (Because of its thickness, there’s no approved way to home-can pumpkin puree. If you want to pressure can it, you’ll need to can cubed pumpkin.)

        Great tips Kim!! I’ve roasted the real pumpkin flesh before for homemade pumpkin pie one year. I’m normally just not on top of my planning game enough to think through making more and freezing it, though you’ve inspired me now. (But seriously – can you believe those cans were on clearance for 1 CENT?!)

        I can’t believe I hadn’t seen it yet until this month! I would’ve been all over this bark trend if I knew it existed earlier, haha.

        Haha, no worries! It’s Life cereal – some stores have their generic version of Life and call it oat squares. But really, you can use any cereal that you’d like!
