Pumpkin Overnight Oats are packed with protein and infused with pumpkin, warm spices, and chocolate chips—just like a delicious pumpkin cookie in oatmeal form!
Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
I love overnight oats for a quick breakfast! I’ve shared many recipes like Overnight Oats with Chia Seeds, Brownie Batter Overnight Oats, and Peanut Butter Overnight Oats.
When fall arrives, I crave everything pumpkin! So, I created a Pumpkin Overnight Oats recipe, and it’s amazing. Think of it as a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie in oatmeal form! It’s a great way to start your day—filling, tasty, full of fiber, and packed with fall flavors!
Ingredients
- Almond Butter: Use your favorite almond or nut butter. I love slow-roasted almond butter.
- Milk: Any kind works; my favorite is vanilla almond milk.
- Oats: Old-fashioned oats are best; steel-cut and quick oats can get too mushy.
- Maple Syrup: You can swap this for honey or agave nectar.
- Vanilla: This is optional, but it adds great flavor.
- Cinnamon and Pumpkin Pie Spice: These are important for that classic pumpkin pie taste.
- Canned Pumpkin: Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which has added spices and sugar.
Quick Tip
Pumpkin Pie Spice is a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice. You can use my recipe to make it yourself or use the individual spices in these Pumpkin Overnight Oats.
How To Make Pumpkin Overnight Oats
- Combine Ingredients: Mix all the ingredients in a bowl or jar.
- Stir and Adjust: Stir well and add more sweetener if needed.
- Chill: Refrigerate overnight or for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve: Enjoy the pumpkin overnight oats cold from the fridge with extra chocolate chips. You can also microwave them before serving if you prefer them warm.
Variations
- Chocolate Chip: Mix in mini chocolate chips and sprinkle some on top for a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie flavor.
- More Topping Ideas: Try adding pumpkin pie spice, coconut flakes, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, or chopped pecans/walnuts.
- Vegetarian/Vegan: Use plant-based milk and use maple syrup to sweeten pumpkin overnight oats.
- Gluten-Free: Make sure all ingredients, especially oats, are made gluten-free.
- Dairy-Free: Choose plant-based milk and dairy-free chocolate chips for your pumpkin pie overnight oats.
Storage
These overnight oats will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Store them in airtight containers to keep them fresh.
Meal Prep: Make multiple servings at once and store in individual containers
