Pumpkin Overnight Oats
Description
This Pumpkin Overnight Oats recipe combines rolled oats and chia seeds with liquid ingredients including milk and vanilla yogurt, integrating pumpkin puree enriched with pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon for seasonal flavor. The oats and seeds absorb the liquids overnight, resulting in a creamy texture that softens the oats naturally. Maple syrup adds gentle sweetness, customizable to taste, while chopped pecans can be added for a contrasting crunch.
By preparing the oats in individual jars, this dish is convenient for grab-and-go breakfasts or portion control. Serving cold, the oats deliver a spiced pumpkin experience without heat, suitable for dietary preferences including vegan options if non-dairy milk and yogurt are used.
The recipe allows for flexibility in oat type; although rolled oats are best suited for quick soaking, steel-cut oats can be used with longer soaking times. Chia seeds contribute to texture and thickness but can be substituted with ground flaxseed or finely chopped nuts, changing the mouthfeel slightly. Flavored or plain yogurt can be used, with plain requiring added sweetener. The oats keep well refrigerated for up to five days.
Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cups rolled oats or large flake oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk or non-dairy milk
- ⅔ cup vanilla yogurt or vanilla Greek yogurt
- ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup maple syrup brown sugar, or honey, or more to taste
- ½ cup pecans optional, chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, yogurt, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and maple syrup (or brown sugar). Taste and add more sweetener if desired.
- Divide the mixture among four small mason jars or small containers. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or for best results, allow it to sit overnight.
- Garnish with whipped topping overnight if desired.
Notes
- Refrigerate overnight oats for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Use flavored or plain yogurt; add sweetener if using plain yogurt.
- Rolled or large flake oats work best; steel-cut oats require longer soaking.
- Substitute chia seeds with ground flax, nuts, or oat bran, noting texture changes.
