Pumpkin Overnight Oats

Savor the flavors of fall with Pumpkin Overnight Oats!

It’s an easy breakfast that’s delicious and healthy.

With the rich flavor of pumpkin and the nutritional benefits of oats, these overnight oats are a fantastic way to kickstart your day.

This easy breakfast requires minimal preparation, making them a great option for busy mornings.

The Ingredients

Oatmeal: I used old fashioned rolled oats. Oatmeal is high in fiber, which helps you stay full longer and curbs the urge to snack.

Oats also provide complex carbohydrates that release energy steadily, keeping you fueled throughout your busy day.

Pumpkin: I used canned pumpkin puree. Pumpkin is a nutritional powerhouse with low calories, making it a great addition to your breakfast.

Rich in essential vitamins like A and C, as well as potassium and antioxidants, pumpkin contributes to your overall well-being.

Unsweetened Almond Milk: This is a great alternative to regular milk. It has fewer calories and is low in carbohydrates and sugar.

Sugar Free Maple Syrup: Instead of using sugar I used sugar free maple flavored syrup. This help to keep the points low.

Vanilla Extract: This helped to add a hint of vanilla flavor to the overnight oats.

Spices: Pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon helped to give it that pumpkin pie flavor.

How to Make Pumpkin Overnight Oats

Add the pumpkin puree, sugar free maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon to small mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients together.

Pour in the rolled oats and unsweetened almond milk. Mix the ingredients together.

Transfer to a jar and seal it closed.

Place it in the fridge overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.

Serving Suggestions

Here are a few ideas to add extra flavor and texture:

Add Nuts: Incorporate chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds for a crunchy texture and a boost of healthy fats.

Incorporate Fruit: Stir in some fresh or dried fruits like sliced bananas, apples, or raisins to add natural sweetness and additional fiber.

Dairy Options: Enhance creaminess and protein content by topping your oats with a dollop of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.

Storing and Meal Prep

Use Airtight Containers: Glass jars or BPA-free plastic containers work well for storing your oats. Make sure they are airtight to keep the oats fresh.

Make in Batches: You can easily double or triple the recipe to prepare a week’s worth of breakfasts. Just store each serving in individual containers.

Keep Toppings Separate: If you like to add fresh fruit, nuts, or yogurt, consider keeping these toppings in separate containers until you’re ready to eat. This helps maintain their freshness and texture.

With a little bit of planning, you can set yourself up for a week of healthy, satisfying breakfasts.
