Print Recipe

A simple, no-cook overnight oats recipe with pumpkin puree, warm spices, and maple syrup. Perfect for busy fall mornings, this creamy breakfast comes together in minutes and tastes like dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk of choice (whole milk, almond milk, or oat milk)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure pumpkin)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (for topping, optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pecans or walnuts (for topping, optional)
  • Extra drizzle of maple syrup (for topping, optional)
  • Fresh fruit (sliced banana or apple, for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mason jar or container with a lid, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir to distribute spices.
  2. Add 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until the pumpkin puree is fully incorporated and the oats are evenly coated. If too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add a tablespoon of oats.
  3. If using chia seeds, stir in 1 tablespoon now.
  4. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, stir in a tablespoon of milk to loosen.
  6. Add desired toppings: Greek yogurt, chopped nuts, extra maple syrup, and/or fresh fruit. Serve cold or warm (microwave for 60-90 seconds, lid removed).

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; quick oats become mushy, steel-cut stay hard. Don’t skip the salt—it enhances flavors. For a dairy-free version, use oat milk and coconut yogurt. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. The oats keep in the fridge for up to 5 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months. Stir before serving to redistribute ingredients.
