Preparing The Ingredients

Getting your oats ready is quick and easy. You’ll need a few key items to whip up this tasty breakfast.

Grab a can of pumpkin puree from your pantry. Make sure it’s 100% pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. You’ll also want some plant-based milk – almond, oat, or soy work great.

Don’t forget the star of the show – rolled oats. These thick, hearty oats soak up all the flavors overnight. For sweetness, maple syrup or agave nectar are perfect vegan options.

Spices bring the fall magic. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger create that classic pumpkin spice taste. A pinch of salt helps balance the flavors.

For extra nutrition and crunch, grab some chia seeds and chopped nuts. Pecans or walnuts complement the pumpkin nicely.

You’ll need a jar or container with a lid to mix everything. A mason jar works well and looks cute too. Get your measuring cups and spoons ready to portion out the ingredients.

With everything gathered, you’re all set to start mixing up your delicious pumpkin overnight oats.

Variations To Try

Want to mix it up?

• Try swapping the plant milk for coconut milk. It adds a tropical twist and extra creaminess.
• For a protein boost, stir in some chia seeds or hemp hearts. They’ll give your breakfast more staying power.
• Craving something sweeter? Add a spoonful of maple syrup or a mashed banana. These natural sweeteners complement the pumpkin flavor nicely.
• Spice things up by experimenting with different seasonings. Cardamom, ginger, or nutmeg can add new dimensions to the classic pumpkin pie spice blend.
• Top your oats with crunchy elements like pumpkin seeds, pecans, or granola. The contrast in textures makes each bite more interesting.
• For a dessert-like twist, mix in some dairy-free chocolate chips. They’ll melt slightly, creating pockets of chocolatey goodness throughout.
• Feeling fruity? Fold in some diced apple or pear. Their natural sweetness pairs well with pumpkin and adds a fresh element to your oats.

Storage Tips

You’ll want to keep your pumpkin overnight oats fresh and tasty.

• Pop them in an airtight container before refrigerating. This helps lock in flavor and prevents odors from seeping in.
• Your oats will stay good for up to 5 days when stored properly. Give them a quick stir before eating, as some separation is normal.
• If you’re meal prepping, consider making individual portions. Mason jars work great for this. They’re portable and easy to grab on busy mornings.
• For longer storage, freezing is an option. Use freezer-safe containers and leave some space at the top. Frozen oats can last up to 3 months.
• When you’re ready to eat frozen oats, thaw them in the fridge overnight. Add a splash of plant milk if needed to restore the creamy texture.
