Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional Topping: Chopped pecans or a drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions
Gather all your ingredients in a jar or container with a lid.
Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt to the container.
Stir or shake the mixture well until all ingredients are fully combined and the pumpkin is evenly distributed.
Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and become creamy.
In the morning, check the consistency. If it is too thick, stir in a splash more milk until you reach your preferred texture for creamy overnight oats.
Top with pecans or an extra drizzle of maple syrup before eating. Enjoy this cozy breakfast immediately.
Notes
For a protein boost, add 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder when mixing the ingredients. You may need an extra splash of milk.
If you prefer a vegan option, use a plant-based milk (like almond or soy) and ensure your yogurt is dairy-free.
This recipe is excellent for meal prep; you can prepare 3-4 jars at once for easy breakfast meal prep throughout the week.
For a richer flavor, use cream cheese instead of Greek yogurt for a dessert-for-breakfast feel.
