Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Spices:
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Blend pumpkin puree, almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt in a jar or container, creating a creamy autumn-inspired base.
- Incorporate oats into the mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure each oat is generously coated with the spiced pumpkin liquid.
- Seal the container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, allowing flavors to meld and oats to soften completely.
- Remove from refrigerator and gently stir to redistribute ingredients and restore creamy consistency.
- Optional: Warm in microwave for 30-45 seconds at medium power if desiring a heated breakfast.
- Garnish with optional toppings like chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, granola crumbles, or a light sprinkle of additional cinnamon for textural contrast and enhanced flavor profile.
- Serve chilled or slightly warmed, enjoying the rich, smooth texture and comforting autumn-inspired taste.
Notes
- Choose rolled oats for the best texture, as they absorb liquid more evenly and create a creamy consistency compared to quick oats.
- Swap dairy milk with any plant-based alternative like coconut or oat milk for a vegan-friendly version that maintains rich flavor.
- Add extra protein by mixing in a scoop of vanilla protein powder or stirring in additional Greek yogurt for a more substantial breakfast.
- Prepare multiple jars in advance for a quick grab-and-go breakfast that stays fresh for up to 3-4 days when stored properly in the refrigerator.
