Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats work best)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 3/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the base flavors In a mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until the oats are evenly coated with the spices and pumpkin.
- Add liquids Pour in the milk and maple syrup, then fold everything together until the mixture is smooth and no dry oats remain.
- Add vanilla If using, fold in the vanilla extract and give a quick stir to incorporate.
- Chill Transfer the mixture to a jar or airtight container, seal tightly, and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to soak and thicken.
- Morning check In the morning, remove from fridge, give a gentle stir, and adjust the consistency with a splash of milk if desired; sprinkle with extra cinnamon for more aroma if liked.
- Serve Spoon into bowls and enjoy with your favorite toppings such as nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup.
Notes
- Best made the night before for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
- Can be prepared with dairy or non-dairy milk; adjust sweetness to taste.
- Texture may vary with oats; for thicker oats, use less milk, or for looser oats, add a splash of milk before serving.
