Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
- ½ cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or cashew milk)
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla; dairy-free coconut yogurt can be used)
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, fresh berries, or nut butter
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add ½ cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds (if using), 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in ¼ cup pumpkin puree, ½ cup milk of choice, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix everything until smooth and creamy using a spoon or whisk.
- Transfer to containers: Spoon the mixture into mason jars or airtight containers and cover tightly.
- Refrigerate overnight: Place jars in the fridge for at least 6 hours, preferably 8-10 hours, to allow oats to soak and soften.
- Morning touch-ups: Stir the oats well in the morning. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen the texture. Top with your favorite nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit before serving.
Notes
Use high-quality canned pumpkin puree like Libby’s for best flavor. Oat milk complements the pumpkin well. Whisk wet ingredients separately before mixing to avoid lumps. Soak overnight for best texture; if short on time, soak at least 1 hour at room temperature. Adjust maple syrup to taste. For vegan version, use coconut yogurt and plant-based milk.
