• old-fashioned rolled oats – for that perfect creamy texture without turning mushy

• pure pumpkin puree – skip the pie filling; this 100% pure version gives the real pumpkin taste.

• milk of choice – whether it’s almond, oat, or dairy, this one blends smooth and creamy every time.

• pure maple syrup – adds a caramel-like sweetness that pairs beautifully with the pumpkin spice.

• pumpkin pie spice blend– a cozy mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg & cloves that makes every bite taste like fall.

• chia seeds – for that thick, pudding-like texture and a boost of omega-3s.

• sea salt – enhances all the flavors and balances the sweetness.

Ingredient Notes

• Rolled oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. Quick oats will become too soft and mushy. Do not use steel-cut oats as they will not soften enough.

• Pumpkin puree: Ensure you use plain canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling contains added sugar and spices which will throw off the recipe’s balance.

• Milk: Any milk works well here. Dairy milk, almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk will all produce a creamy result.

• Pumpkin pie spice: You can use a store-bought blend or make your own by combining cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.

• Maple syrup: This is our natural sweetener. You can adjust the amount to your taste or substitute with honey or agave nectar.

Helpful Tips

• Shake the jar very well to distribute the pumpkin pie spice evenly and prevent clumps.

• If your mixture seems too thick in the morning, stir in an extra splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.

• For extra protein, stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder or Greek yogurt after the oats have set.

Expert Tips for Perfect Results

1. For the best flavor, let the oats rest a full 8 hours. This gives the chia seeds and oats enough time to fully hydrate and create a perfect pudding-like texture.
2. Taste your mixture in the morning and adjust the sweetness or spice level to your preference.
3. Toasting your rolled oats in a dry pan for a few minutes before assembling adds a wonderful nutty depth to the final dish.

Serving Suggestions

Top your oats with a dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of crushed pecans for a true pie-like experience.

A drizzle of extra maple syrup over the top adds a beautiful finish and extra sweetness.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Prepared overnight oats will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

You can eat them cold straight from the fridge for a refreshing meal.

If you prefer warm oats, you can heat them in the microwave for 60-90 seconds, stirring halfway through.

Frequently Asked Questions
