Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Oats
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1-2 tsp maple syrup or honey to taste
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Granola
  • A dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream
  • Extra sprinkle of cinnamon

Method
 

  1. In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, milk, pumpkin puree, chia seeds, maple syrup (or honey), pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined and there are no clumps of oats or chia seeds. Make sure the oats are fully submerged in the liquid.
  3. Cover the jar tightly with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight (8 hours), to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
  4. In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the consistency is too thick, add a splash more milk until desired creaminess is reached.
  5. Top with your favorite optional toppings such as chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, granola, or a dollop of yogurt, and enjoy cold!

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can toast the rolled oats lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the jar. If you prefer a warmer breakfast, gently heat the overnight oats in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, adding a bit more milk if needed. These oats are perfect for meal prepping; you can make several jars at once and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Adjust the sweetness and spice levels to your personal preference.
