Pumpkin Overnight Oats are a creamy, spiced, make-ahead breakfast that combines rolled oats, pumpkin puree, milk, and cozy fall spices. They deliver the flavor of pumpkin pie in a nourishing, ready-to-eat form perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy, etc.)
  • 1/4 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla, optional)
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves mix)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp chia seeds (optional, for thickness)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, granola, dried cranberries, banana slices

Instructions

  1. In a jar or bowl, combine rolled oats, pumpkin puree, milk, yogurt (if using), sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Stir in chia seeds (if using) for added texture and thickening.
  3. Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate overnight (6–8 hours) to allow the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
  4. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, mix in a little more oats or chia.
  5. Top with nuts, seeds, granola, banana slices, or dried fruit before serving. Enjoy cold or gently warmed.

Notes

  • Use plain pumpkin puree for best flavor control—avoid pumpkin pie filling.
  • Adjust sweetness and spice to taste before refrigerating.
  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free milk and yogurt and maple syrup as the sweetener.
  • Oats thicken as they rest—add milk in the morning if needed.
  • Keep refrigerated and consume within 2–3 days for best texture.
