Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled Oats (opt for gluten-free oats if desired)
- 1/2 cup Pumpkin Purée (avoid pumpkin pie filling for best results)
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (can substitute with agave syrup or honey)
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or dairy-free, any variety)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (highly recommended)
- 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice (or substitute with individual spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
- 1 pinch Salt (to enhance sweetness and flavor)
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, creating a flavorful base for the oats.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gently stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Ensure everything is evenly coated and well mixed for consistent flavor throughout.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and flavors.
- Serve: When ready to enjoy, give the oats a gentle stir. Top with your favorite garnishes such as yogurt, granola, or nuts to add texture and extra flavor.
Notes
- Use gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free breakfast.
- The pumpkin purée should be plain, not pumpkin pie filling, to control sweetness and spices.
- Chia seeds add extra fiber and a creamy texture but are optional.
- Sweeteners can be adjusted to taste with alternatives like honey or agave syrup.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a vegan option, choose plant-based milk and maple syrup or agave as sweetener.
