Ingredients
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree (100% pumpkin)
1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
1. 1. In a mason jar or airtight container, combine oats, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt (if using). Stir to mix.
2. 2. Add milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and no dry pockets remain.
3. 3. Seal the container and place in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight (8-12 hours) for best texture and flavor.
4. 4. The next morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to reach desired consistency. Add desired toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, granola, sliced fruit, pumpkin seeds) and serve cold.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheating is not recommended but if desired, microwave gently for 30-60 seconds. For a protein boost, stir in 1 scoop vanilla protein powder or Greek yogurt. To make gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. To make dairy-free, use plant-based milk.
