I had a hard time picking a name for this Pumpkin Crumble. It almost became autumn crisp cereal, but I figured since it has pumpkin in it and it tastes like the crumble topping from a muffin it deserved the Pumpkin Crumble name.
This “cereal” fits well into the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle and uses some of their popular ingredients like the THM Baking Blend, Gentle Sweet and Pristine Whey Protein Powder.
If you don’t have those ingredients you can buy them here from my affiliate link or I will give you some substitutions that will also work …(every mama needs her cereal) … I’ve made this both ways and honestly I prefer it with the THM Products.
As many of you know I love my cold cereals… they make for a quick and easy trimming breakfast that doesn’t wake everyone up with a blender going… and hey let’s face it a bowl of cereal is good anytime of day as a meal or as a snack.
If you haven’t checked out my Peanut Butter Crunch you might want to…
either of these cereals would be great mixed up into your cup of yogurt for a satisfying snack that doesn’t add to your waistline.
Back to the Pumpkin Crumble Cereal….
This crumble is sweetly spiced and baked so that it can stand up in your milk, I’d suggest using the Foundation milk recipe from the new cookbook on page 439 or whichever on plan milk you choose to use.
I’ve mixed this into my Jigglegurt another recipe from the new cookbook (page 348 ) and topped some on plan tummy tucking ice cream with it… Yes it has many uses … gotta love a recipe that works in a bunch of yummy ways.
So Here’s the recipe…
- 2 TBS THM Super Sweet Blend or ¼ cup THM Gentle Sweet
- ⅓ cup chopped almonds, pecans or walnuts
- 2 TBS THM Baking Blend
- ¼ cup whey protein
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ cup butter or coconut oil, softened
- 2 TBS Pumpkin Puree not pie mix
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Combine sweetener chopped nuts, baking blend, whey protein, pumpkin pie spice and baking powder.
- Cut in the butter(coconut oil) and the pumpkin puree until crumbly
- Dump onto a rimmed baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes.
- It will look like it has baked into a blob…. Let cool for 2 minutes and stir with a fork to break into crumbles, it will crisp up as it cools.

How many serving? Sounds delish. Love your recipes.
Judy says
it worked out to 2-3 servings if using it for cereal…. more if you are using it as a topping
Thanks for following my blog <3

I am going gluten free so I’m so excited there’s some pumpkin stuff that i can make that’s relatively guiltless haha! Saving this for this weekends cooking bonanza that’s for sure!
Judy says
You should check out the Trim Healthy Mama Plan, it can be done fairly easily Gluten Free
Melissa says
I made this recipe last night and it was absolutely delicious. Thank you for the wonderful cereal replacement!
Judy says
I’m so glad that you like it
Debbie W. says
Sounds yummy.
Cami says
Can this be made ahead of time and stored for future use?
Judy says
yes ma’am, I normally double or tripple it and store in the fridge or freezer
Mallory Pitts says
Have you tried this using collagen instead of the whey protein? Whey gives me tummy troubles so I try to use collagen as a replacement when I can. Thanks!
Judy says
I havent, i am sorry
Julie Sulc says
Same question: just wondering what the role of the whey protein is in the recipe so I can think about substitution. Why did you include it? I tried it this morning, but we’re going off of dairy next month, so will see if I can tweak it.
Judy says
the whey is for added protein and it also adds bulk and allows the cereal to crisp
Rebekah Kuriakose says
Is this an S or E? I’m assuming S because of the butter/oil.
Thank you! Pumpkin Crumble is yummy!
Judy says
Yes, this is an S
Leah says
I didn’t cut in the butter and pumpkin right because in the end I had all fine crumbs.. but I split it into individual serving baggies and froze it to get it together and it is so rich and yummy!
Ive really looked forward to having it in the morning this week.
