Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk or milk alternative
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Fresh fruits for topping
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk (or milk alternative), and canned pumpkin puree. Whisk the ingredients together until they are thoroughly blended and smooth.
- Add the maple syrup, pumpkin spice, and chia seeds to the mixture. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed and fully incorporated.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, ensuring a tight seal to prevent air from entering.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight or for at least 6-8 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and become soft and creamy.
- In the morning, remove the overnight oats from the refrigerator and give them a gentle stir to redistribute the ingredients.
- Transfer the oats to serving bowls and garnish with fresh fruits of your choice, such as sliced bananas, chopped apples, or berries.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional pumpkin spice or a drizzle of maple syrup on top for extra flavor.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats!
Tips
- Choose Your Milk Wisely: Experiment with different milk alternatives like almond, oat, or coconut milk to find your perfect creamy base.
- Customize Your Toppings: While fresh fruits are fantastic, don't be afraid to add nuts, granola, or a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
- Make Ahead Magic: These overnight oats can be prepared up to 3-4 days in advance, making them perfect for meal prep and busy mornings.
- Temperature Matters: For the best texture, always let your overnight oats sit out of the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes before eating to take the chill off.
- Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to play with the maple syrup quantity or substitute with honey, agave, or your preferred sweetener.
