Pumpkin Protein Overnight Oats
Servings 4 servings
Perfect for those busy mornings, these pumpkin protein 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 that tastes just like pumpkin pie! {Gluten-free and Vegan-friendly}
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 4 tablespoons vanilla protein powder, or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional toppings
- Chopped pecans or walnuts
- Pumpkin seeds
- Drizzle of maple syrup
- Chocolate chips
- Banana slices
Instructions
- Get out four jars, bowls or glasses. To each, add 1/2 cup oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, pinch of salt, 3/4 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla protein powder.
- 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 flavors. Taste and adjust flavors to taste, adding more protein powder if you prefer it sweeter or want extra protein, 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, a drizzle of maple syrup or other desired toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer your overnight oats to be a thinner consistency, you may wish to add more almond milk.
- To add extra protein, I'll often add half almond milk, half pasteurized liquid egg whites. The egg whites have a neutral flavor, so you'd never know they're in there!
- 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.
