Ingredients for Pumpkin Overnight Oats

Oats – Choose large flake oats, often known as old-fashioned or rolled oats. They offer a nutty flavor and chewy texture. Other varieties of oats will work, but the texture will change. Quick oats can be used but will have a softer texture.

Pumpkin – Use homemade or canned pumpkin puree and add a little bit of pumpkin pie spice.

Dairy – Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein. For a dairy-free twist, try coconut yogurt or cream. Feel free to use your preferred type of milk or dairy free milk such as almond milk.

Variations

• Feel free to substitute steel-cut oats for old-fashioned oats and add a bit of extra milk. Ensure they soak overnight, the texture will be a bit more chewy.
• Soaked chia seed makes a creamy pudding-like consistency, and in fact, chia is considered to be a healthy food. Ground flax seed can be added as well.
• Stir in a spoonful of almond, cashew, peanut, or seed butter for extra protein and flavor. Add in some frozen berries or top with some tasty baked apple slices. The sky is the limit when it comes to mix-ins!
• Sprinkle anything the heart desires on top of this delicious breakfast bowl. Hemp hearts for health, chopped candied pecans or mini chocolate chips. Swap pumpkin spice for apple pie spice or use your own mixture of cinnamon and ginger. Add in vanilla extract and some extra fruit like chopped apples, dried dates, raisins, or cranberries!
