🔪 How to Make Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
Add the oats, pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, chopped pecans, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl.
Pour in the unsweetened almond milk.
Mix until well combined.
Cover and allow to chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
When youโre ready to serve, scoop out your portion into a glass, bowl or glass container (if taking it with you), and top with some toasted pecans.
💡 Tips for Making Overnight Oats
- Use the right type of oats: Rolled oats are ideal for overnight oats because they create the perfect texture. Quick oats can get too mushy, while steel-cut oats wonโt soften enough.
- Liquid-to-oat ratio: A 1:1.5 ratio of oats to liquid (like milk or yogurt) is best. This balance ensures a creamy consistency thatโs not too runny.
- Choose natural sweeteners: Keep them healthy by adding a touch of natural sweetness with organic maple syrup, honey, or even mashed bananas.
- Make individual servings: For added convenience, prepare the oats in separate containers for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
☑️ Storage Instructions
Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 2โ3 days. The oats will soften and soak up the flavors over time. So, if the oats have thickened too much, you can add a splash of almond milk to loosen them up.
🔄 Substitutions and Additions
- Flaxseeds: Give your oats an extra boost of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids with a sprinkle of flaxseeds.
- Seeds or nuts: Swap out the pecans with pumpkin seeds or chopped walnuts for other healthy ways to add crunch.
- Dried raisins or cranberries: Raisins and dried cranberries add little bites of chewy sweetness to the oats and will go well with the pumpkin flavor.
- Nut butter: Add more fat by swirling in some of this Homemade Pecan Cashew Nut Butter.
- Chocolate chips: Mix in a handful of white or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
What Not to Add in Overnight Oats?
Avoid adding ingredients that donโt hold up well when soaked overnight, like as soft fruits such as watermelon and cantaloupe. Also, consider adding toppings right before serving for the best texture. You may also want to steer clear of ingredients like quick oats, which tend to get too mushy, or too much liquid, which can make the oats overly soupy.
How Healthy are Overnight Oats?
Overnight oats are a nutritious breakfast option, packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, depending on the ingredients you use. Rolled oats are a great source of whole grains, while toppings like chia seeds, flaxseeds, and nuts add extra nutrients.
Plus, you can control the sugar by choosing natural sweeteners like maple syrup or honey and balancing it with healthy fats like nut butter.
Why Put Chia Seeds in Overnight Oats?
Chia seeds are a great addition to overnight oats because they help thicken the mixture, giving it a creamy, pudding-like texture. Theyโre also loaded with fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein, making your oats more filling and nutritious without altering the flavor.
Can You Warm Up Pumpkin Overnight Oats?
While these oats are traditionally served chilled, you can absolutely warm them up if you prefer! Simply heat them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired temperature. Just be mindful that warming them might change the texture slightly.
