Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats

Servings: 1

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 0 minutes (requires refrigeration for at least 4 hours)

Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger)
• A pinch of salt
• Optional toppings: chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, almonds), dried cranberries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of extra pumpkin pie spice.

Instructions

1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2. Transfer to Jar: Pour the mixture into a mason jar or an airtight container with a lid.
3. Refrigerate: Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, making them deliciously creamy and ready to eat by morning.
4. Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they seem too thick, you can add a splash more of almond milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with your choice of optional toppings and enjoy!

Notes

• Feel free to adjust the sweetness based on your preference. If you're cutting back on sugar, you can reduce the maple syrup or substitute with a natural sweetener.
• You can prepare multiple batches in advance for a ready-to-go breakfast throughout the week.
