How to Make Pumpkin Overnight Oats
1. Combine the Ingredients
Add the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt to a bowl or jar.
2. Mix Well
Stir everything together until the pumpkin is evenly incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
3. Refrigerate
Cover the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
The oats and chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a thick, creamy texture.
4. Add Toppings
The next morning, stir the oats well. Add chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a little extra cinnamon before serving.
Tips for the Best Pumpkin Overnight Oats
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture.
- Don’t use quick oats because they can become overly soft.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup.
- Add extra milk if the oats become thicker than you prefer.
- Chill overnight for the creamiest texture.
- Add toppings just before serving for the best crunch.
