These Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats make the perfect easy breakfast or even afternoon snack. They are packed with nutrition thanks to whole grain oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and real pumpkin. Sweetened with pure maple syrup and so tasty!
Overnight oats are made from combining whole grain oats with a liquid like almond milk and other tasty ingredients like nut butter, yogurt, or fruit. The oats soak in the liquid and soften overnight which creates the perfect creamy texture that is very similar to traditional oats made on the stovetop.
Do You Have to Cook Overnight Oats?
Nope! The beauty of overnight oats is that they don’t have to be cooked. I prefer to eat mine cold or at room temperature, but you can also heat them up a bit on the stovetop or in the microwave if you prefer them warm.
(full recipe ingredients and instructions are included in the recipe card, below)
Greek Yogurt: I love how creamy, thick, and delicious the Greek yogurt makes these overnight oats. It also adds a bit of protein to the oats to help make them more filling and satisfying.
Pumpkin Puree: be sure you grab pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. Your pumpkin puree should have only one ingredient, pumpkin.
Almond Milk: I love the flavor of almond milk in this recipe but I’ve included swaps below if you are interested.
Vanilla Extract: a little vanilla goes a long way to round out the flavor of the oats.
Almond Butter: I love the addition of almond butter to give the oats an even richer texture and add in some healthy fats as well.
Maple Syrup: the flavor of maple syrup pairs so well with the pumpkin and spices in the oats.
Old Fashioned Oats: rolled oats, often called old-fashioned oats, are the base of this recipe. If you have a gluten allergy be sure to grab oats specifically labeled as gluten free.
Chia Seeds: I love adding chia seeds to my overnight oats for an extra dose of healthy fats.
Pumpkin Pie Spice: this really brings home that delicious pumpkin pie flavor.
Ingredient Swaps and Additions
Nut Butter – when it comes to the nut butter this recipe is pretty flexible. You can use cashew butter, pecan butter, or even your favorite pumpkin spice butter if you like. You can also use peanut butter but it will change the flavor of the oats and give them a strong peanut butter flavor.
Maple Syrup – you can easily swap the maple syrup for honey if you like. If you want your overnight oats on the sweeter side then you can add a bit more sweetener if you prefer.
Greek yogurt – you can easily make these overnight oats vegan and dairy free by substituting the Greek yogurt with your favorite dairy free Greek yogurt (like coconut milk or almond milk yogurt) in this recipe.
Protein Powder – to increase the protein content in the oats, feel free to add a scoop of your favorite plain, vanilla, or even chocolate.
Milk – this recipe calls for almond milk but you could easily use cashew milk, oat milk, or even regular dairy milk if you prefer.
Pumpkin Pie Spice – If you do not have any pumpkin pie spice on hand you can make your own or substitute it with cinnamon.
How to Make Pumpkin Overnight Oats
(full recipe ingredients and instructions are included in the recipe card, below)
Step One: First, add the Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, almond milk, vanilla extract, almond butter, and maple syrup to a mixing bowl. Whisk all of the we ingredients together until well combined.
Step Two: Next, fold in the oats, chia seeds, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until everything is well combined.
Step Three: Add the overnight oats to a large wide mouthed glass container with a lid. Give everything another stir to ensure that overnight oats are well combined.
Step Four: Cover the container and place in the fridge for at a minimum of two hours or preferably overnight.
Step Five: After the oats have soaked and chilled, remove them from the fridge and give them a stir. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Serving Ideas
While these pumpkin pie overnight oats are delicious all on their own, they are also a great blank canvas for different toppings.
Here are few of my favorite topping ideas to take your oats to the next level:
sliced banana
pumpkin seeds
chopped walnuts or pecans
hemp seeds
fresh berries
shredded coconut
a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream
cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
How to Store
Store your overnight oats in an air-tight container in the fridge for safe keeping. A mason jar or Weck jar with a tight lid work very well for storing the overnight oats.
How Long Do Overnight Oats Last?
Overnight oats should last for around three days in an air-tight container in the fridge. While they may still be good to eat a few days after that, the texture of the oats may change as they soak up more liquid.
I like to make a batch to enjoy for two or three days and then make another instead of doubling the recipe and eating off of it all week long.
I hope you give these Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats a try! They make a quick and easy breakfast or snack!
