Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats preferably old-fashioned
  • 0.5 cup pumpkin puree canned or homemade
  • 0.75 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg ground
  • 0.25 teaspoon cloves ground
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional, for sweetness
  • pinch salt to enhance flavors

Instructions

  • Combine the oats, pumpkin puree, milk, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • Cover the bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap, sealing in all the flavors. Place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
  • In the morning, remove the bowl from the fridge. The oats should be thick, creamy, and tender, with the pumpkin and spices evenly distributed. Give the mixture a gentle stir to fluff it up.
  • Taste the oats and adjust the sweetness or spice level if desired, adding a little more maple syrup or spices for extra flavor.
  • Spoon the oats into bowls and optionally top with your favorite garnishes like toasted nuts, a drizzle of honey, or extra pumpkin pie spice for added aroma and texture.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to a day. Enjoy your creamy, aromatic pumpkin spice overnight oats for a cozy, nutritious breakfast.

Notes

For best flavor, prepare the oats the night before. Feel free to customize toppings and spice levels to suit your taste. These oats can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
