Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond milk (plus splashes more if desired)
- 1/2 cup coconut yogurt
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- Coconut yogurt
- Chopped pecans
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and pumpkin seeds. Whisk well to evenly distribute the spices and seeds throughout the oats.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond milk, coconut yogurt, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk thoroughly until all the components are well combined into a uniform mixture.
- Chill Overnight: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 20 minutes, but preferably overnight. This resting period allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and swell, resulting in a creamy, porridge-like consistency. If the mixture is too thick in the morning, add splashes of almond milk to thin as desired.
- Serve and Garnish: Divide the prepared overnight oats evenly between two bowls or cups. Top each serving with a dollop of coconut yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped pecans for added texture and flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy your nutritious, pumpkin-spiced breakfast.
Notes
- You can customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of maple syrup.
- For a nuttier flavor, toast the pumpkin seeds lightly before adding them.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more almond milk before serving.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
- For added crunch, consider adding granola just before serving.
