Notes
- Substitute for pumpkin pie spice: 1 tsp ground cinnamon or 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon + 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- Vegan option: substitute a plant based spread for the butter and use a non-dairy yogurt, such as almond milk or soy based yogurt alternatives. Make sure the granola used is also vegan, like Nature's Path Pumpkin Flax Granola.
