Pumpkin Spice Overnight Protein Oats
Description
This recipe mixes gluten-free or regular oats with vegan vanilla protein powder, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, and coconut milk to form a thick base. After mixing, the oats are portioned into a jar and chilled overnight or for at least four hours to absorb the liquid, resulting in soft, but not watery, oats with a pronounced pumpkin spice aroma.
The topping is a dairy-free cream cheese frosting whipped from dairy-free cream cheese, coconut oil, and honey for richness and a touch of sweetness. This frosting is spread over the soaked oats before serving, adding a creamy counterpoint to the spiced oats.
Careful selection of ingredients is important: vegan protein powder is necessary to prevent watery oats, and real pumpkin puree—not pumpkin pie filling—yields the best texture. The oats can be customized with toppings like toasted pecans, cinnamon, or dairy-free caramel sauce for added indulgence.
Ingredients
For The Oats
- ⅓ cup oats gluten-free, regular
- 3 tbs vegan vanilla protein powder
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tbs maple syrup
- 2 tbs coconut milk full-fat
- ⅛ cup pumpkin puree
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 3 tbs dairy-free cream cheese
- 1 tbs coconut oil
- 1 tbs honey
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the base of the oats and mix well.
- Portion into a mason jar.
- With a handheld mixer, whip the cream cheese, coconut oil, and honey until smooth.
- Pour the cream cheese on top and pop on a lid.
- Let sit overnight or for a minimum of four hours.
- Enjoy.
Notes
- Use vegan protein powder to absorb liquid and create thick oats; fermented protein or pea protein are good options.
- Do not substitute pumpkin pie filling; use pumpkin puree for proper texture and flavor.
- Whey protein is not suitable for this recipe.
- Select dairy-free cream cheese softened before whipping; local varieties without sunflower or safflower oils are preferred.
- To make the recipe vegan, replace honey in the frosting with maple syrup, noting the frosting may be less thick.
- Optional toppings include toasted pecans, extra cinnamon, or dairy-free caramel sauce for extra richness.
