Pumpkin Overnight Oats Recipe
Servings 2 servings
Perfect for those busy mornings, these pumpkin overnight oats are the ultimate fall breakfast! They take only a few minutes to prep and make a delicious and healthy grab and go breakfast for the whole family. Plus, they taste just like pumpkin pie! {Gluten-free and vegan}
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or more to taste
Optional toppings
- Chopped pecans or walnuts
- Pumpkin seeds
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Get out two jars, bowls or glasses. To each, add 1/2 cup oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (or more to taste).
- Stir the mixture well and allow to sit in the fridge for at least four hours or overnight.
- When ready to serve, stir again to incorporate the flavours. Taste and adjust flavours to taste, adding more maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter, more cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice if you like more spice, and more almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Top with chopped pecans or other desired toppings.
Notes
- If you prefer your overnight oats to be a thinner consistency, you may wish to add more almond milk. I like my overnight oats pretty thick so I only add 1/2 cup milk to each serving.
- Be sure to give the overnight oats mixture a good stir before serving to incorporate the ingredients at the bottom of the serving vessel.
- Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling to minimize added sugar.
- If you need to make these overnight oats quickly, you can prepare them and eat them within a few hours, but I find the texture is best when left to sit overnight.
- Sometimes I'll use a tablespoon of vanilla protein powder to replace the maple syrup and incorporate some extra protein. It's equally delicious!
