A simple, no-cook overnight oats recipe with pumpkin puree and warm spices, perfect for busy fall mornings. Creamy, satisfying, and made with pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice
  • ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, extra maple syrup, whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prep your jar or container: Ensure your mason jar or container is clean and dry.
  2. Blend the pumpkin base: In a small mixing bowl, mash ¼ cup (30g) of the rolled oats with the ½ cup pumpkin puree using a fork until it forms a thick paste (about 30 seconds).
  3. Add the remaining dry ingredients: Add the remaining ¾ cup (60g) rolled oats, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the bowl. Stir until evenly distributed.
  4. Pour in the wet ingredients: Add the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until well combined (mixture will be thick and slightly lumpy).
  5. Transfer to your jar: Pour the mixture into the prepared jar or container, scraping every last bit with a spatula.
  6. Seal and refrigerate: Put the lid on and gently shake. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Serve and enjoy: In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Top with desired toppings and serve cold.

Notes

For best texture, use rolled oats (not quick oats) and do not skip mashing some oats with pumpkin puree. Use room temperature pumpkin puree for smoother blending. Taste before refrigerating to adjust sweetness or spice. Store in fridge for up to 5 days; do not freeze. For warm version, microwave 45-60 seconds.
