Pumpkin spice doesn't get any better than a creamy, delicious make ahead breakfast that also makes you feel good! At this point, you all know I love my overnight oats, so pumpkin spice is a natural fit for a seasonal spin on my favorite grab-and-go breakfast!
Why You'll Love These Pumpkin Overnight Oats
- Pumpkin spice. If you're pumpkin obsessed, you'll fall for these creamy, lightly sweetened oats that taste like pumpkin pie!
- Make-ahead. With just 5 minutes of active prep time, these oats are incredibly easy to make and ready to go for busy mornings!
- Healthy. They're nutritious and filling, so you'll feel good all morning!
What Makes Them Healthy?
Unlike other pumpkin treats, these pumpkin pie overnight oats are lower sugar, sweetened with just a touch of maple syrup. They're also naturally high in protein with Greek yogurt and milk. Flaxseed adds a little boost of healthy fat, while a whopping half cup of real pumpkin lends vitamins (hello, vitamin A!) and lots of fiber. The combination is filling and digestion friendly!
How To Make Healthy Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
- Simply whisk the yogurt, milk, pumpkin, maple syrup and spices in a large jar.
- Add the oats and flaxseed and whisk again.
- Then cover and refrigerate overnight. Your breakfast will be ready in the morning!
Can These Be Made Vegan?
To make this recipe vegan, simply use your favorite non-dairy milk and yogurt. I suggest going with a high-protein option, like soy milk, to keep a decent protein level.
Heating and Serving Suggestions
- If you prefer your oats warm, heat individual servings in the microwave for 30-30 seconds in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Top with any of you favorite toppings! I like pecans, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin granola, or even granola butter!
