Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled Oats (Opt for gluten-free oats if desired.)
- 1/2 cup Pumpkin Purée (Avoid pumpkin pie filling for best results.)
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds (Can be left out if preferred.)
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (Agave syrup or honey are alternatives.)
- 1 cup Milk (Use any milk, dairy or dairy-free, for smooth blending.)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Highly recommended for extra depth.)
- 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice (Feel free to substitute with individual spices.)
- 1 pinch Salt (Enhances sweetness and overall flavor.)
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a charming jar or bowl, combine your milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy to create a well-incorporated pumpkin milk base.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gently stir in rolled oats, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all the dry bits are evenly coated with the wet mixture.
- Refrigerate: Cover your jar or bowl tightly and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the flavors and soften.
- Serve: When ready to indulge, give your oats a little stir to refresh the mixture and top with your favorite garnishes such as yogurt, granola, or nuts for extra texture and taste.
Notes
- Use gluten-free oats to keep this recipe gluten-free.
- Maple syrup can be swapped with agave syrup or honey depending on preference.
- Feel free to omit chia seeds if you prefer a simpler texture.
- For extra richness, use full-fat milk or a creamy dairy-free alternative like coconut milk.
- This recipe keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days, great for meal prep.
- Adjust pumpkin pie spice quantity to taste or substitute with a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
