Ingredients
  

For the Frozen Yogurt:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup pure pumpkin puree

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Pinch of salt

For the Crumble Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour (or substitute with whole wheat flour)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Frozen Yogurt Mixture:

    - In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Using a whisk, blend the mixture until it is smooth and well combined, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Freeze the Yogurt:

        - Pour the blended yogurt mixture into ice cream molds or silicone cupcake liners. Alternatively, you can use a shallow dish for easier scooping later. Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent ice crystals from forming. Place it in the freezer and allow it to freeze for about 4-6 hours or until the mixture is firm.

          Prepare the Crumble Topping:

            - In another mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Drizzle in the melted coconut oil (or butter) and stir until all dry ingredients are evenly moistened.

              - If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and the dried cranberries or raisins to enhance the texture and flavor of the topping.

                Bake the Crumble:

                  - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the crumble mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time, until the crumble is golden brown and fragrant. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

                    Assemble the Cups:

                      - After the frozen yogurt has set, carefully remove it from the molds (if using individual molds). If you used a shallow dish, use a scoop to divide the yogurt into serving cups. Generously top each cup with the delicious crumble topping.

                        Serve:

                          - Enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Delight Cups immediately, or if they’ve softened too much, return them briefly to the freezer to firm up. Indulge in this delightful fall-themed treat that’s perfect for sharing!
