Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy, almond, or oat milk)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional)
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Chopped nuts
- Dried cranberries
- Chia seeds
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl or jar, mix together the pumpkin puree, rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), maple syrup or honey, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to soak and thicken for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight for the best texture and flavor.
- Stir and Adjust Consistency: The following morning, take the oats out of the fridge and stir them to evenly distribute any separated liquids. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve: Serve the overnight oats chilled, or warm them for 1-2 minutes in the microwave if you prefer a hot breakfast. Top with optional chopped nuts, dried cranberries, chia seeds, and/or whipped cream for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can use any type of milk—dairy, almond, oat, or your favorite plant-based milk—to suit your dietary preference.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey according to taste.
- Skip the Greek yogurt for a dairy-free or vegan version, but it adds creaminess and extra protein.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If warming the oats, cover them to prevent drying out, and stir halfway through heating.
- Feel free to customize toppings to your liking, such as adding fresh fruit or seeds.
