Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, or oat milk work great)
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (ensure it is 100% pure pumpkin, not pie filling)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine the Ingredients. In a medium-sized glass jar or airtight container, add the rolled oats, milk, pumpkin puree, chia seeds, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Step 2: Mix Thoroughly. Stir the mixture vigorously with a spoon until all the ingredients are well combined. Make sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped together at the bottom, as they are responsible for thickening the oats.
- Step 3: Seal and Chill. Secure the lid on your container. Place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though overnight (about 8 hours) is recommended for the best, creamiest texture.
- Step 4: Final Stir and Toppings. In the morning, remove the lid and give the oats one more quick stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, splash in a little extra milk. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
