Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (240ml) milk (any kind)
- 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir to distribute the spices evenly.
- Add the milk, pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined, breaking up any clumps of pumpkin puree. The mixture should be smooth and uniform.
- Seal the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
- In the morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, add a splash of milk (1-2 tablespoons) and stir again.
- Add desired toppings (e.g., extra maple syrup, pumpkin seeds, chopped pecans, fresh fruit) and enjoy cold or warm (microwave 45-60 seconds).
Notes
Use rolled oats, not quick or steel-cut oats, for the best texture. Stir thoroughly to avoid clumps of pumpkin puree. The oats keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. For a vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt and milk. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free rolled oats. Toppings can be added just before serving.
