Easy Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

These Easy Pumpkin pie overnight oats are a sure way to brighten up those slow fall mornings. Just mix up the ingredients in a glass jar or container and let it sit overnight in the fridge. It truly is that simple to have a healthy, indulgent breakfast all fall.

The best breakfasts are the ones that taste amazing and are so easy that they require minimal effort on my part. Bonus points if it’s healthy! These super easy pumpkin pie overnight oats satisfy every criteria for a great breakfast.

Do not misunderstand me, I love warm pumpkin pancakes or a fresh out-of-the-oven pumpkin french toast casserole on a Saturday or Sunday morning. However, a pumpkin pie smoothie or easy pumpkin pie overnight oats satisfy my pumpkin cravings while saving me a lot of precious time on tiring weeknights and busy mornings.

Ingredients

Old Fashioned Rolled Oats. Rolled oats work best for overnight oats. I do not recommend using steel cut oats or quick oats as they simply do not absorb the liquid like the rolled oats do. Steel cut oats work best for traditional oatmeal recipes.

Chia Seeds. These small seeds add some extra fiber, protein, and healthy fats. It’s okay if chia seeds just aren’t your thing, they can be omitted completely for pumpkin overnight oats without chia seeds. Just add 1-2 tbsp more oats to help soak up the additional moisture.

Pumpkin Puree. Whether you’re using canned or homemade pumpkin puree, either will work just fine. If you’re using store-bought, be sure to use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling! Pumpkin pie filling has lots of added sugars!

Milk. I use full fat (whole) cow’s milk for the added healthy fat and preference. Unsweetened almond milk, plain or vanilla, is my favorite non dairy option. However, cashew, soy, coconut, or any other nondairy milk would be great for a vegan option!

Yogurt. I use plain, full fat greek yogurt. Once again, plain or vanilla, any yogurt will work. Just use what you have on hand!

Maple Syrup. I love the added sweetness maple syrup offers. Honey or agave nectar would be some other great options to use as natural sweeteners.

Pumpkin Pie Spice. You can make your own homemade pumpkin pie spice mix to keep on hand, or use the pre-mixed one from the grocery store. If you do not have any, Cinnamon will add the warm flavor you’re looking for.

Best Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats Toppings

You can use any of your favorite toppings. Some greek yogurt is great for a healthier option, or some whipped cream would satisfy a sweet tooth. Chopped almonds or pecans are my favorite but any chopped nuts will do! For a seasonal fruit option, dried cranberries, orange, pear or apple slices would pair well. Note: I’ve never had overnight oats that did not pair well with banana as a topping.

How to add protein to overnight oats?

The biggest secret to healthy eating is filling foods! In order to create filling foods that will satisfy your hunger until the next meal, you need to increase the protein content. So the secret to filling and satisfying overnight oats is, you guessed it, PROTEIN!
You can do this in one of two ways:

1. Add vanilla or pumpkin protein powder to your oats or
2. Add 1 tbsp of nut butter into your mixture. Almond butter, or pecan butter would really enhance the flavors properly.
