8 Ingredients for Pumpkin Overnight Oats

  • canned pumpkin or pumpkin puree – If you can’t find canned pumpkin, roasting a pie pumpkin for pumpkin pureé works in this recipe as well. (It does not always work in baking recipes though.)
  • high protein yogurt – you can use greek yogurt or skyr for a boost of protein. Feel free to use a dairy-free high protein yogurt to make this recipe vegan friendly.
  • unsweetened non-dairy milk – Use hemp milk, soy milk or oat milk to keep this recipe nut free. Cashew milk, coconut or almond milk also work. If using a thicker milk with added protein, you might need to add a little more milk.
  • oats – rolled oats or quick cooking oats works best in this recipe with the written ratios. Use gluten free as needed. If using steel cut oats, use 1/2 cup steel cut oats and increase the milk to 1 cup. The mixture will also need to soak overnight (8 hours).
  • pure maple syrup – Just a touch for some sweetness, but feel free to use another sweetener and adjust to your liking.
  • chia seeds – a great boost of healthy fats, fiber, antioxidants. They help create a thicker oatmeal.
  • pumpkin pie spice – a must for pumpkin pie oatmeal.
  • protein powder – an optional add-in but if you’re looking for a boost you can easily add to this recipe. If using a plant based powder, you’ll need about 3 extra tablespoons of milk. If using whey or collagen, no additional milk is needed.

Prepped in Minutes

What’s better than waking up in the morning and not having to worry about breakfast?

Other than remembering to set the coffee timer, of course.

Well, while you’re remembering to set the coffee for the next morning, you can throw together these pumpkin oats in just a few minutes.

Now you’ve got coffee AND breakfast taken care of all in one go.

Mix in a Jar or Bowl

You can mix everything thing together in a bowl or a large 16oz mason jar. Just make sure everything is well combined before you refrigerate overnight.

How long do overnight oats take?

This particular recipe can be ready in as little as four hours, which is enough time for the oats to soften and the chia seeds to absorb the excess liquid.

You can also keep them in the fridge overnight and they’re ready in the morning.

How Long Do Overnight Oats Last?

Overnight oats will last in the fridge for about 3-4 days. They’re best kept sealed in a glass bowl or jar with a lid.

You can double this overnight oats recipe for family and have breakfast covered for a few days!

Ways to Enjoy

Straight from the Fridge

Take these pumpkin pie overnight oats on-the-go and enjoy them right out of your mason jar.

If you have time for a little sit down breakfast, prepare them in a bowl with your favorite toppings (keep scrolling for more suggestions!).

Warmed Up

If you prefer, you can also warm up this pumpkin oatmeal. I always used to think overnight oats were meant to be enjoyed cold but of course you can warm them up too.

To Reheat:

  • Add overnight oats recipe to small pot with about 2 tablespoons of milk
  • Heat on low, contiuously stirring until warmed through.

Favorite Toppings

  • pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)
  • flax seeds
  • dried fruit, such as cranberries
  • crunchy granola <– this pumpkin spice recipe is a favorite!
  • cashew butter or almond butter drizzle
