Ingredients For Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

Chia Seeds: Chia seeds help thicken the oats as they soak, creating a rich, pudding-like texture. They’re a great source of fiber and omega-3s, adding nutrition and subtle texture without altering the flavor. Just like everything that chia seeds are in like my Raspberry Chia Jam and Raspberry Chocolate Chia Pudding, chia seeds add this amazing texture and bring this recipe together perfectly.

Pumpkin Puree: Pumpkin puree adds a creamy texture and the signature fall flavor to the oats. It’s rich in vitamin A and antioxidants, and gives that pumpkin pie vibe without added sugar or fat.

Rolled Oats: Rolled oats are the hearty base of this recipe. They soften overnight while soaking up flavor and moisture, and offer a steady source of fiber and complex carbs to keep you full longer.

Greek Yogurt: Thick and creamy, Greek yogurt boosts the protein content and adds a slight tang that balances the sweetness. It also contributes to the smooth texture and offers gut-friendly probiotics.

Maple Syrup: Just a drizzle of pure maple syrup brings natural sweetness and a warm, caramel-like flavor. It complements the pumpkin and spices while keeping the recipe refined sugar-free.


Step By Step Instructions

Step 1: Pour the almond milk, rolled oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, greek yogurt, and spices into a bowl and mix together.

Step 2: Store in a fridge for at-least 4-6 hours for best results. The longer in the fridge the thicker it will be. Enjoy!

FAQs

How To Store Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats?

I like to store my overnight oats in mason jars, but any airtight container with a lid will work.  The best size mason jar for one serving is 16 ounces as that will be pretty much filled to the top.  Depending on your recipe, you may want to use a 1-quart mason jar so you have room for toppings, but that will for sure leave space at the top and a 4-ounce mason jar is typically way too small. (For more help on what containers to use check out my post on The Ultimate Guide To Meal Prep Containers.)

How Long Are Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats Good For?

Another question I get a lot. Plus its variations that are also in my inbox on a regular basis - How long do overnight oats keep? and How long can you keep overnight oats in the fridge?

No matter how you ask it, my answer is the same: Overnight oats are the perfect make-ahead breakfast because they last in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.  Assuming you store your overnight oats in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge per the directions, you’ll be able to enjoy them for the whole week.

Benefits Of Overnight Oats

If you need more convincing, I think a conversation about the benefits of overnight oats is in order.

These pumpkin overnight oats are:

  • Very quick and easy to make.
  • A simple but delicious make-ahead breakfast which means you can meal prep for multiple days. Which also means you can wake up in the morning, head over to the fridge, open the fridge and eat the pumpkin overnight oats, half asleep.
  • A very healthy breakfast option.

And, let me tell you a secret...my pumpkin overnight oats are really protein oats. Not only that, but they are made with:

  1. Greek yogurt - a healthy probiotic that is great to include in your diet,
  2. Pumpkin puree - as opposed to pumpkin pie filling that is filled with processed ingredients and sugars, is healthy and good for you,
  3. Chia seeds - a nutritional powerhouse I will discuss more about in a bit,
  4. Pure maple syrup, and your favorite Fall spices. Which also means you get Fall overnight oats. In case you don’t know what that means, well, it means you get overnight oats with Fall’s most amazing flavors.

I’m talking about you, cinnamon and nutmeg, my friends.  The good stuff!
