Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk of choice (kefir, almond milk, regular milk, etc.)
  • ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
  • 1 ½ tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons chia seeds or flax meal (or 1 teaspoon each)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped topping
  • Chopped pecans
  • Pumpkin pie spice
  • Maple syrup
  • Cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, milk of your choice, pumpkin puree, chopped pecans, maple syrup, chia seeds or flax meal, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until completely combined.
  2. Divide into Containers: Pour the mixture evenly into 3 jars or airtight containers, preparing individual servings for convenience.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the containers with lids and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors, achieving a creamy consistency.
  4. Add Toppings and Serve: Just before eating, add your choice of optional toppings such as whipped topping, extra chopped pecans, a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup drizzles, or a cinnamon stick garnish to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture; instant oats may become too mushy.
  • Chia seeds or flax meal help thicken the oats and add omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or adding alternative sweeteners.
  • The pumpkin pie spice can be replaced or enhanced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves according to taste.
  • This recipe is easy to customize with different nuts, seeds, or milk alternatives to suit dietary preferences.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for quick breakfasts.
