Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk of choice (almond, dairy, or oat milk recommended)
- 1/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or overnight oats mug, add the rolled oats, nonfat Greek yogurt, milk of choice, pure pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly with a spoon or small whisk until all ingredients are well mixed and spices are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar or mug tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture soak for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy and thick texture.
- Serve: In the morning, enjoy the overnight oats cold directly from the refrigerator, or warm them in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds if you prefer a warm breakfast. Optionally, top with extra pumpkin pie spice or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added crunch and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute the nonfat Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt for a vegan option.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash more milk before serving.
- Storing the oats in a sealed container ensures freshness for up to 3 days in the fridge.
- Optional toppings include chopped pecans, walnuts, or a dollop of nut butter for extra protein and texture.
