What You’ll Need to Make These Simple Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
Let’s dive into the ingredients that make these Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats so special! Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats: The base of our delightful dish! These oats soak up all that yummy goodness.
- 1/2 cup milk: You can use non-dairy milk if you like, but regular milk works perfectly too!
- 1/4 cup yogurt (optional): For that creamy texture and extra protein!
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling, please!): This is what gives the oats that festive pumpkin flavor.
- 1 tbsp maple syrup: A touch of sweetness. You can adjust based on how sweet you like it!
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds: Adds a bit of nutrition and a nice texture.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract: Because, yum!
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice: A cozy must-have for pumpkin lovers!
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional): A dash for extra warmth.
- 1/8 tsp salt – What’s baking without a couple pinches of salt, right?
- Toppings like chopped pecans, whipped cream, yogurt, or granola – Get creative!
Let’s Get Cooking!
Step 1: Combine Your Ingredients
Start by adding all the ingredients, rolled oats, milk, yogurt (if you’re using it), pumpkin puree, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, cinnamon (if you want that extra kick), and a couple pinches of salt, into a jar. I like to use a quart-sized mason jar because it’s the perfect size!
Mix everything together, so that it’s all well combined. The smell at this point is already amazing, right? Seal it with a lid and shake it up like crazy. You want to make sure everything mixes in well until it’s creamy and homogenous.
Step 2: Refrigerate Overnight
Now, here comes the hard part, put the oats in the fridge overnight. If you can’t wait that long, let them sit for at least 4 hours. But really, overnight is best because it gives the oats time to soak up all that deliciousness and get nice and soft.
Step 3: Enjoy!
The next morning, take your oats out and remove the lid. Give it a good stir. If it’s thicker than you prefer, splash in a little more milk to loosen things up. I often do this just to get that creamy, dreamy texture.
Now, you can enjoy the oats right from the jar or dump them into a bowl. I love topping mine with a bit of whipped cream and some chopped pecans for those lovely crunchy bites!
The versatility is incredible; you can swap ingredients based on your family’s preferences, whether you want a dairy-free option or if you’re looking for extra protein. You really can’t go wrong, and it feels amazing to start your day off on a healthy note!
