Your new favorite fall breakfast has arrived! Healthy, cozy, and comforting- it’s made with whole grain oats. Just 5 minutes of prep the night before equals the perfect pumpkin breakfast, ready & waiting! These pumpkin overnight oats also make a great snack or post-workout treat!

These pumpkin oats are packed with healthy carbs, fiber, and some protein. You can even add chia seeds for a boost of fiber and protein powder for a balanced meal. Or serve with Greek yogurt or eggs for protein.

Simply mix everything together and let it sit in the fridge overnight. By morning, the oats will have absorbed the liquid and flavors, creating a creamy, pumpkin-spiced breakfast that's ready to eat. You can top it with nuts, seeds, or a dollop of yogurt for extra texture and flavor. Enjoy cold or heat in the microwave.

How to Make Pumpkin Overnight Oats

  1. In a small bowl, stir the maple syrup, milk, and chia seeds. Then, stir in the pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and protein powder. Finally, stir in the oats. Make sure the oats are fully submerged in the liquid. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  2. Remove from the fridge. Next, stir and enjoy! Can be eaten cold or heated in the microwave.

Note: If you don't want to include protein powder, then only use 1/2 cup of milk.

Should overnight oats be eaten cold?

Overnight oats are often enjoyed cold, but they can also be heated for a warm treat!

Can I use steel cut oats?

No, old-fashioned or rolled oats are the best choice for overnight oats. They will absorb the liquid while chilling in the fridge overnight. Steel cut oats will not be able to absorb as much liquid.

How to Store Overnight Oats

Overnight oats should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They do look super cute in a mason jar! Keep for up to 3 days. Prepare the night before and enjoy within 24 hours for the freshest flavor!

Can I use pumpkin pie filling?

No, I recommend using pumpkin puree for this recipe. Though they both come from a can and look similar; however, pumpkin pie filling has sugar and other ingredients added.
