Ingredients:
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- ¼ cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings:
- Chopped pecans or walnuts
- Whipped cream or Greek yogurt
- Additional pumpkin pie spice
- Drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar, bowl, or airtight container, mix together the rolled oats, milk, pumpkin puree, chia seeds, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Stir and Adjust: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Add Toppings: Top the oats with your favorite additions, such as chopped pecans, a dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats cold straight from the fridge, or warm them up in the microwave for 1-2 minutes for a cozier meal.
