Ingredients
For the Oats:
⅔ cup pumpkin puree
¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla for extra sweetness)
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk of choice
1 cup rolled oats (or quick-cook oats; use gluten-free oats for a gluten-free option)
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Combine wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Portion and refrigerate: Divide the mixture into two mason jars or airtight containers. Cover and place in the fridge overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir and add extra milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Taste and adjust the sweetness, adding more maple syrup or honey if needed. Top with whipped cream, chopped nuts, sliced banana, or peanut butter for added flavor and texture.
- Storage: These oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days, making them perfect for meal prep!
Notes
- Nut Butter Swirl: Add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter to the oats before refrigerating for extra creaminess and flavor.
- Sweetener Substitution: If you prefer, you can substitute the maple syrup with agave nectar, coconut sugar, or stevia.
- Toppings: Top with granola, dried cranberries, or pumpkin seeds for a little crunch, or add a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess.
- Spicy Kick: If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper or ground ginger into the oats for a spicy twist.
