Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are one of the easy breakfast recipes made with healthy ingredients. It is one of the quick and no-cook breakfast recipes that can be flavored with various fruits and spices. Pumpkin pie overnight oats are basically a breakfast that feels like dessert, but in the healthiest way. Instead of cooking oats on the stovetop, you just need to mix all the ingredients and let them sit in the refrigerator overnight.

What makes this recipe so special and perfect for the fall season is the pumpkin pie flavor. The combination of pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice blend makes the oatmeal taste just like a slice of pumpkin pie. It is warm, wholesome, and healthy.

Rolled Oats - Use a high-quality rolled oats for the best texture. They soften overnight but still hold a nice texture. You can also swap them with quick oats or instant oats, but the final oatmeal will have a softer and mushy texture. I haven't tried this recipe with steel-cut oats yet.

Pumpkin Purée - You will need plain, unsweetened pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pumpkin pie filling. I have used canned puree in this recipe. If you can't find canned pumpkin, you can steam or roast fresh pumpkin and blend it to get a smooth puree.

Chia Seeds - They add protein and make it filling. Use black or white chia seeds. You can skip it if you want.

Milk - I have used dairy milk in this recipe. If you want to use non-dairy milk, you can use almond milk, soy milk, cashew oat milk, or coconut milk. Choose what you like. You can also replace it with yogurt to make it creamy.

Honey - I have used honey to sweeten my overnight oats. You can also use maple syrup, which pairs well with pumpkin and fall flavors. Brown sugar works as well.

Pumpkin Pie Spice - It is a simple spice blend made with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and allspice. You can use a store-bought pumpkin spice blend or homemade pumpkin pie spice. If you don't have it handy, replace it with ground cinnamon.

Vanilla Extract - Adds a lovely flavor to the dish. If you are using unsweetened vanilla almond milk, you can skip this.

In the morning, give the soaked oats a good stir. Add more milk or yogurt if want to make it thinner.

Transfer to serving bowls or jars and top them with your favorite toppings such as granola, yogurt, whipped cream, nuts, or nut butters.

Serve and enjoy!

Make sure you use rolled oats/old-fashioned oats for the perfect texture.

Use homemade pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin puree. Do not use the pumpkin pie filling, which has added sugar and spices.

Taste the mixture before soaking and add more honey or maple syrup according to your taste. You can use any of your favorite sweeteners.

The overnight oats will thicken as they sit. Stir it and add more milk before serving if needed.

You can also stir in some yogurt or nut butters like almond butter or peanut butter before refrigerating for extra creaminess.

It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store it in jars or airtight containers for an easy grab-and-go breakfast. This recipe is perfect for meal prep. Freezing is not recommended.
