You can never really have too many overnight oats recipes, right? This recipe was one of the first recipes I ever posted on my blog, but I decided to give it a refresh with some new photos!
Now that the weather is finally cooling down, I'm really ready for all things pumpkin-apple-chai-etc. But, no matter the time of year, I can always go for a bowl (or a jar!) of oats. If you're a fan of pumpkin, you'll love these pumpkin overnight oats. They're a great way to start the day, and only take about five minutes to make.
For this recipe, I used canned pumpkin, cinnamon and maple syrup to flavor the oats, but you could always use pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon if you prefer--both ways are delicious.
OVERNIGHT OATS INGREDIENTS
- Rolled oats
- Pumpkin
- Maple syrup
- Milk of choice
- Cinnamon
- Chocolate chips
HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN OVERNIGHT OATS
Stir wet ingredients together: Whisk the pumpkin, syrup and milk together in a bowl until everything is well combined and there aren't any lumps.
Add the dry ingredients: In that same bowl, add the oats, cinnamon and chocolate chips and stir to combine. The chocolate chips are optional, but they add a little extra sweetness to this recipe (plus, chocolate is pretty much always a good idea, right?).
Store in the refrigerator: This step is key! The whole point of overnight oats is to prepare them the night before so that breakfast is ready for you in the morning. Place the bowl in the refrigerator as-is, or transfer the oat mixture to jars and store them that way.

I'd say it's DEF fall! The sure tale signs are pumpkin spice lattes, sweaters/boots, and over pumpkin oats. You nailed them on the head. Love it! My favorite season of the year.

I haven't jumped on the overnight oats bandwagon because I've never been a fan of oatmeal. However, I love pumpkin pie so much this might just be enough to get me to try 🙂
TheAlmondEater says
Is it the texture? Because the texture kind of freaks me out, but not as badly cold than when they are warm for some reason.

What a nice housewarming party! By The Fight do you mean the boxing match? I knew the redheaded guy would lose... 🙂
Pumpkin and chocolate are so good together. I've never tried overnight oats but I may be willing to give them a go for that recipe!

Yes hahah the boxing fight and I knew he would lose too. I kept telling everyone that but they were hoping he'd pull through. And you must try the overnight oats, simply because they're perfect for when you're in a rush in the morning, since you prep them the night before 🙂
