Toasted Coconut Pumpkin Pudding
Fans of pumpkin spice will love this easy-to-make pudding that is subtly tart and sweet and loaded with vitamins, fiber, and probiotics.
For a dairy-free version, swap out the dairy yogurt for vanilla coconut or soy yogurt. For a more robust, peanutty flavor, add an additional tablespoon of peanut butter. You can also add pumpkin seed or almond butter.

Pumpkin Yogurt Pudding
Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup vanilla full-fat yogurt
- ½ cup canned pure pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup smooth peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Toast the coconut, if desired, by spreading in an even layer on a small piece of aluminum foil and gently toasting in a toaster oven until lightly browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Or spread in an even layer in a medium skillet and toast over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly brown, about 4 minutes.
- Mix the yogurt, pumpkin puree, peanut butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl until smooth.
- Top the mixture with the coconut and serve cold. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze in ice pop molds and enjoy within 3 months.
Notes
- Add a full tablespoon of peanut butter to the pudding for a more robust peanutty flavor.
- Substitute peanut butter with pumpkin seed, walnut, pecan, or any nut-butter alternative you prefer.
- Add a whole, mashed banana to the pudding for added sweetness.
