Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (vanilla yogurt can be used for added sweetness)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cup rolled oats (quick cook oats can be used; gluten-free oats for gluten-free option)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and pumpkin pie spice into the wet mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Portion and refrigerate: Divide the mixture evenly into two mason jars or airtight containers. Cover them securely and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 to 6 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats to soak and soften.
- Serve and customize: Remove from the fridge and stir the oats. If desired, add extra milk to achieve your preferred consistency. Taste and add additional sweetener if needed. Top with optional garnishes such as whipped cream, chopped nuts, sliced banana, or peanut butter for extra flavor and texture.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator covered for up to 4 days, maintaining freshness and flavor for convenient future breakfasts.
