Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup (120g) pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (whole milk, almond milk, or oat milk)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (optional, use dairy-free yogurt for vegan)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add rolled oats, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently but thoroughly until all oats are coated and the mixture is a soft orange hue.
- Divide into containers: Spoon the mixture into two or three mason jars or airtight containers and seal tightly.
- Refrigerate overnight: Place the containers in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and develop creaminess.
- Serve and garnish: Stir the oats before serving. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with optional nuts, seeds, or fruit as desired.
Notes
Use pure pumpkin puree without added sugar or spices. For vegan/dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based milk. Chia seeds help thicken the mixture and add fiber. Rolled oats are preferred over instant oats for texture. Oats keep well up to 4 days refrigerated. Add toppings like nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit for texture and flavor contrast.
