Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra protein)
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Combine the rolled oats, milk, pumpkin puree, chia seeds, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt (if using), and salt in a jar or container with a lid.
Stir all ingredients well until fully mixed. Scrape down the sides if necessary.
Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
In the morning, check the consistency. If the oats are too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired creamy texture.
Eat cold directly from the jar. Top with pecans or extra spice before serving.
Notes
For a high protein overnight oats boost, use protein powder or increase the amount of Greek yogurt.
If you prefer a vegan pumpkin oats option, use plant-based milk and vegan yogurt.
This recipe is naturally gluten free if you use certified gluten free rolled oats.
Add a few drops of liquid stevia instead of maple syrup for a lower sugar option.
