What’s Overnight Oatmeal?
An overnight oats recipe is a raw oatmeal breakfast made of soaked rolled oats, chia seeds, and milk.
It’s a wonderful healthy breakfast to start the day with nutritious fiber, plant-based proteins, and minimal sugar to keep your blood sugar level steady during the day.
How To Make Pumpkin Overnight Oats
Pumpkin spice overnight oats are an easy Fall breakfast recipe. It takes just about 5 minutes to make it the day before, and it can be meal prepped for about a week of breakfast!
So convenient for the whole family, nourishing and delicious.
So let’s see the ingredients you need to make this delicious pumpkin overnight oats recipe.
Ingredients
- Old fashioned rolled oats – this is the thick variety of oats. They are much higher in fiber and liquid absorbent than quick oats. Don’t use steel-cut oats. They won’t soften as well and will stay hard the next day.
- Chia seeds
- Pumpkin puree – you can use canned pumpkin puree. Most cans are made of 100% pumpkin puree with no additives. Or, follow my tutorial to make your homemade pumpkin puree.
- Unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk you love. Coconut milk goes very well with pumpkin spice flavors.
- Coconut yogurt – or simply more almond milk.
- Pumpkin pie spices – it’s simply a combo of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to bring out the most delicious pumpkin pie flavor in your breakfast jars. I provide the breakdown of each spice in the recipe card below to make it easier for you. But, if you have a pumpkin pie spice mix from the grocery store, use 1 1/4 teaspoon of it for this recipe.
- Maple syrup or any liquid sweetener you love, like agave syrup or coconut nectar.
- Vanilla extract
Making The Overnight Oats Batter
First, in a large mixing bowl or glass mason jar, combine rolled oats and chia seeds until evenly distributed.
Next, stir in almond milk, coconut yogurt, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spices, and vanilla extract.
Stir until all the ingredients come together. Then, cover the mixing bowl with a piece of plastic wrap to seal the bowl from the air.
Pop the bowl in the refrigerator overnight.
Serving
The next day, your pumpkin-flavored overnight oats recipe is ready to eat! But, it’s much better served with some toppings or layers of other ingredients.
That’s the best part! Assembling overnight oats allows you to create so many different combos of flavor!
In fact, overnight oats are best served with other ingredients, mostly crunchy nuts, seeds, and layers.
Adding Flavors
So, let me share my perfect combo to bring out even more fall flavors into this simple recipe.
First, choose cute little glass jars to serve.
Next, add these ingredients in layers and repeat until it reaches the top of the jar:
- Pumpkin pie overnight oats mixture
- Unsweetened coconut yogurt
- Chopped pecan or walnuts
- A drizzle of pure maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon
- Top at the end with a dollop of almond butter or peanut butter
Storage
Overnight Oats recipes store for up to 4 to 5 days in the fridge as long as you seal the jar.
You can also freeze leftovers in airtight containers and thaw them in the fridge the day before.
