Hey there, friends! Can you feel the fall magic in the air? When September rolls around, all I want is something cozy, tasty, and easy to make for breakfast. That’s why I’m sharing my Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats! It’s like having dessert for breakfast but it’s good for you! These oats are creamy, sweet, full of warm fall spices, and taste just like a slice of pumpkin pie. Let’s dive into this seasonal treat together!
Method in Detail
Step 1: Combine Your Ingredients
To start, take out a medium-sized mixing bowl. In this bowl, add 80g of rolled oats, 100g of pumpkin purée, 4 tablespoons of vanilla Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of milled flaxseed, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. These ingredients make up the creamy, flavorful base of your overnight oats. Then, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon along with a small pinch each of ground cloves, nutmeg, and ginger. These spices are what give the oats that classic warm pumpkin pie flavor.
Step 2: Pour in the Oat Milk
Once your dry and wet ingredients are in the bowl, go ahead and pour in 400ml of oat milk. This will be the liquid that softens and soaks the oats overnight, giving them that dreamy, pudding-like texture. Stir everything together thoroughly with a spoon or whisk. Make sure there are no dry oats left at the bottom and that the spices are evenly spread throughout the mixture. This step is super important for flavor and consistency.
Step 3: Refrigerate Overnight
After mixing, carefully transfer the oat mixture into an airtight container or jar. Smooth the top with a spoon and seal it tightly with a lid. Place the container in the fridge and leave it overnight, or for at least 6 to 8 hours. During this time, the oats will soak up all the moisture and become thick, soft, and delicious like a no-bake pumpkin pie breakfast!
Step 4: Add Your Toppings in the Morning
When morning comes, give your oats a good stir straight from the fridge to make sure everything is evenly mixed and smooth. Then, spoon the oats into a serving bowl or eat them right out of the jar whichever you prefer! Now for the fun part: toppings! Add an extra spoonful of vanilla Greek yogurt on top for creaminess, then sprinkle on some chopped pecans for crunch, and a few dark chocolate chips for a touch of sweetness. These final touches not only taste amazing but also make your oats look extra pretty and inviting.

Notes
- Don’t skip the stirring! If your ingredients aren’t mixed well, the oats might clump or sit at the bottom.
- Make sure to use rolled oats, not instant or steel-cut; they won’t absorb the milk the same way.
