FAQs

Can I use steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats?

No, steel-cut oats won’t soften properly overnight unless precooked.

Do I have to add chia seeds?

No, but they help thicken the oats and add extra fiber and omega-3s.

Can I use brewed coffee instead of instant?

Yes, replace the water with cooled brewed coffee for a stronger coffee flavor.

What if I don’t have pumpkin pie spice?

Use a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves instead.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes, use plant-based milk and yogurt, and swap honey for maple syrup.

How do I make it higher in protein?

Add Greek yogurt, skyr, or a scoop of protein powder.

Can I prepare multiple jars at once?

Yes, overnight oats are perfect for meal prep—make up to 3 days ahead.

What toppings go best with this?

Granola, pumpkin seeds, pecans, or a drizzle of nut butter pair beautifully.

Will this taste sweet enough without added sugar?

The maple syrup provides sweetness, but you can adjust to taste or add mashed banana.

Can I blend the oats for a smoother texture?

Yes, blend all ingredients before refrigerating for a creamy “pudding-like” consistency.
