Ingredients
Scale
Main 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 salt
Toppings
- Chopped pecans
- Pumpkin seeds
- Greek yogurt
- Extra maple syrup
- Cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized jar or container with a lid, add the rolled oats, almond milk, pumpkin puree, chia seeds, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix Thoroughly: Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly until everything is well combined and there are no lumps of pumpkin puree. Ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Seal and Refrigerate: Secure the lid on the jar or container tightly to prevent any spills or odors, then place the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This resting period allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and develop a creamy, thick texture.
- Stir Before Serving: Before serving, give the overnight oats a good stir to evenly redistribute the ingredients. If the texture is too thick for your preference, add a splash of milk and stir again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Spoon the pumpkin pie overnight oats into a bowl. Top with your favorite garnishes such as chopped pecans for crunch, pumpkin seeds, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dollop of Greek yogurt for creaminess, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup if desired. Enjoy immediately for a deliciously comforting breakfast.
