  • Total Time: 4 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 tsp fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 4 tsp honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Pecans
  • Whipped cream
  • Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place all the oats, pumpkin pie spice, sea salt, almond milk, pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Well: Whisk the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
  3. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture and add additional honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
  4. Refrigerate: Divide the mixture evenly into two jars or containers with lids. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  5. Serve: When ready to eat, top your pumpkin overnight oats with pecans, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon for added texture and flavor. Enjoy cold straight from the fridge.

Notes

  • Use plain Greek yogurt for higher protein content; flavored yogurts may add extra sugars.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your taste by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
  • Make sure to use old fashioned oats as quick oats may become too mushy.
  • Optional toppings can be customized based on preference or dietary restrictions.
