Ingredients
To make this delicious pumpkin pie overnight oats with chia, you’ll need:
- 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt: Adds creaminess and protein. Swap with vanilla yogurt for extra sweetness.
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk: Provides a light, dairy-free base. You can use any milk you prefer, such as cow’s milk, soy milk, or oat milk.
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree: Not to be confused with pumpkin pie filling, pure pumpkin puree gives the oats a rich, seasonal flavor.
- 1–2 tablespoons pure maple syrup: Adjust the amount based on your desired sweetness. Opt for honey or agave syrup as alternatives.
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract: Enhances the overall flavor with a subtle sweetness.
- 1/2 cup rolled oats: Use gluten-free oats if needed to keep this recipe gluten-free.
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds: Add a pleasant texture and are a great source of fiber and omega-3s.
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice: A blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves that gives these oats their signature flavor.
Instructions
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Stir well until everything is thoroughly mixed.
Add the Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and pumpkin pie spice. Taste and add more maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
Refrigerate: Transfer the mixture into a glass jar or container with a lid. Seal it tightly and place it in the fridge. Let the oats soak for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
Serve: In the morning, give your oats a good stir. Enjoy them cold straight from the fridge, or warm them up for a few seconds in the microwave. You can top them with additional pumpkin pie spice, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a handful of nuts for added crunch.
Notes
- Serve in a clear glass jar or a bowl to show off the beautiful layers.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of extra pumpkin pie spice, chopped nuts, or dried cranberries for a festive touch.
- Add a dollop of whipped coconut cream for a dessert-like experience.
