Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats work best for texture)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Chopped pecans (for topping)
  • Pumpkin seeds (for topping)
  • Greek yogurt (optional, for topping)
  • Extra maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
  • Cinnamon (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium-sized jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, pumpkin puree, chia seeds, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Step 2: Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps of pumpkin puree and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  3. Step 3: Secure the lid on the jar or container tightly.
  4. Step 4: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so the oats and chia seeds can absorb the liquid and thicken.
  5. Step 5: Before serving, stir the oats well. If the texture is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
  6. Step 6: Spoon the oats into a bowl and add your favorite toppings such as chopped pecans, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a drizzle of extra maple syrup.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra protein, stir in a spoonful of Greek yogurt or nut butter before refrigerating.
  • Substitute pumpkin pie spice with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves if you don’t have it on hand.
  • Use canned coconut milk instead of almond milk for a richer flavor.
  • Add diced apples or dried cranberries as mix-ins for added texture and sweetness.

Storage

Store the overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before eating, and add a little milk if needed to loosen the texture. This recipe is best enjoyed chilled but can be eaten at room temperature if preferred.

FAQs

Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin puree?

Yes, you can use cooked and mashed fresh pumpkin, but be sure it’s pureed smoothly. The texture might be slightly different, and you may need to adjust the amount of liquid.

Is this recipe vegan and gluten-free?

This recipe is naturally gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats. To keep it vegan, use plant-based milk and skip the Greek yogurt or use a vegan alternative.
