Ingredients

▢ ⅓ cup pumpkin puree¹
▢ 1 cup (80g) old-fashioned oats do not use quick oats or steel cut oats²
▢ ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
▢ 1 Tablespoon chia and/or flax seeds³
▢ 1 cup (240mL) milk⁴
▢ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ ½ to 1 Tablespoon (15mL) liquid sweetener⁵

Instructions

Pour all of the ingredients into a 16 ounce Mason jar or large container with a lid.
⅓ cup pumpkin puree1, 1 cup (80g) old-fashioned oats, ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1 Tablespoon chia and/or flax seeds3, 1 cup (240mL) milk4, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ to 1 Tablespoon (15mL) liquid sweetener5
Stir or shake the container until all of the ingredients are completely combined. Allow to sit in the refrigerator overnight, or at least 8 hours.
When oats are ready, eat right out of the jar or spoon into a bowl. Sprinkle with extra toppings⁶ and spices, if desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 3 days.

Notes

Pumpkin: I always measure pumpkin purée with measuring cups as the moisture content can wildly change the weight measurements, depending on the brand.
Oats: quick oats will turn mushy, and steel cut oats won't absorb enough liquid to soften. Old-fashioned rolled oats are the best for overnight oats.
Chia/flax seeds: you can use any kind of seed you prefer here. I like to use a mix of chia and flax for texture and added protein.
Milk: you can use cow or dairy-free milk here, sweetened or. unsweetened. You can also use Greek yogurt instead (you'd still use 1 cup).
Liquid sweetener: I like to use agave, honey, or maple syrup, but you can use any sweetener you like, even stevia or sugar. You will want to adjust based on your taste preferences. I like to start with the least amount or simply add it when I eat it.
Toppings: go wild here! I like to add pepitas and nuts, but you can put literally anything on these oats that you like. If you're feeling like you want something sweet, I highly recommend my pumpkin spice whipped cream!
Add protein: I like to add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to my oats to give them more protein content.
