Pumpkin Overnight Oats are a protein-packed treat that tastes like a pumpkin chocolate-chip cookie in oatmeal form, with all the pumpkin spice flavor you love!
In a small bowl, jar, or plastic container, add almond butter, vanilla extract, syrup, pumpkin, milk, oats, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and chocolate chips.
Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated. Taste mixture and add additional syrup if desired.
Cover and refrigerate overnight or until sufficiently cooled and thickened. (Sometimes I’ll even make them in the morning—they are great even after 30 minutes in the fridge.)
Enjoy these softened oats, cold and straight out the fridge, garnished with a fewextra chocolate chips if desired. Oats can also be warmed through.

Notes
Note 1: Use an almond butter that you enjoy eating straight out of the jar. I like almond butter made with slow-roasted almonds and sea salt.Note 2: Scale the sweetness up or down to personal preference—you may not even want any! I prefer 1 tablespoon maple syrup; use 2 tablespoons for more sweetness. Alternatively, use 1/4 teaspoon liquid stevia drops for a zero-calorie sweetener.Note 3: As written, these overnight oats are quite creamy. If you’d rather them thicker, add a few tablespoons of additional oats and/or 1 to 2 tablespoons chia seeds.Storage: Store overnight oats in the fridge for up to 3 days.
