Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Chopped pecans
- Chia seeds
- Pumpkin seeds
- Extra maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until fully combined to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or container tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and flavors, resulting in a creamy texture.
- Stir and Serve: In the morning, stir the oats again to mix any settled ingredients. Add your favorite toppings such as chopped nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of maple syrup. Serve chilled, or warm it gently in the microwave if desired.
Notes
- Use gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup, or substitute with honey or stevia.
- These oats keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
