Description
A cozy and nutritious Pumpkin Overnight Oats recipe perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast. This no-cook dish combines rolled oats with pumpkin puree, warm spices, and a touch of sweetness, all soaked overnight for a creamy, flavorful start to your day.
Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk or milk-of-choice
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons chia seed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2-3 teaspoons maple syrup (more if desired)
Add-ins
- ¼ cup raisins or mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the rolled oats, almond milk (or milk of your choice), pumpkin puree, chia seeds, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, raisins or mini chocolate chips, and chopped pecans into a jar or bowl. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the oats are well coated and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture chill and soak for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors, resulting in a creamy texture.
- Serve: After chilling, give the oats a good stir. Serve cold, optionally garnished with extra pecans, pumpkin seeds, or a drizzle of maple syrup for added flavor and texture. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious pumpkin-flavored breakfast!
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk or milk alternative you prefer.
- Add more maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste.
- For vegan version, ensure your chocolate chips are dairy-free, or omit them.
- Chia seeds can be omitted but add nutritional value and help thicken the oats.
- Oats can be soaked longer than overnight if desired, up to 24 hours for convenience.
