Directions

1.

The Oats Foundation

Begin by pouring the 160 grams of rolled oats into a large mixing bowl. Pour in the 450 ml of oat milk, ensuring that the oats are well-submerged. The oat milk will give a rich, creamy consistency and complement the natural flavors of our oats.

Stir in the Greek yogurt and pumpkin puree. Sprinkle in the 5 tablespoons of chia seeds. They'll swell up, adding a unique texture to the mix and aiding in thickening our overnight oats. Drizzle in the 4 tablespoons of maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

The Overnight Magic

Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Once satisfied, transfer the mixture to jars or individual bowls, sealing them tightly. Allow the mixture to rest in the refrigerator overnight. This will enable all the flavors to meld and the mixture to achieve the perfect consistency.

In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Feel free to top with nuts, fruits, or a drizzle more of maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Overnight oats will thicken as they sit. If you prefer a looser consistency, you can add a splash of oat milk in the morning before eating.

Depending on the sweetness of your pumpkin puree and personal preference, you may want to adjust the maple syrup. Start with less, taste, and add more if needed.

Any milk, be it cow's, almond, soy, or others, can work as a substitute for oat milk.

If you have pumpkin spice on hand, it can replace the cinnamon for a more multi-dimensional flavor.

If you can't find pre-made pumpkin puree, you can make your own by roasting and blending pumpkin chunks. Ensure there's no added sugar if you're using a canned version.

Pumpkin Overnight Oats can be refrigerated for up to 5 days, making them perfect for meal prep for the week. If the oats have absorbed too much liquid over several days, simply add a bit more milk to get them to your desired consistency.
