Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or vanilla
- 1/2 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Add rolled oats, chia seeds, and spices to a 16 oz mason jar, bowl or glass container.
- Next, add pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup and vanilla.
- Stir until thoroughly combined. Add any additional sweetener or spices to taste.
- Set for at least 4 hours in the fridge or overnight.
- Top with granola, more Greek yogurt, or nuts and enjoy!
Notes
- Protein will vary by brand. The 23 grams of protein is based on the Greek yogurt and milk used in the nutrition calculation. Dairy-free yogurt or lower-protein milks will reduce the total.
- Adjust the texture as needed. This recipe makes thick overnight oats. Use up to ⅔ cup milk if you prefer a looser consistency.
- Use rolled oats. Old-fashioned rolled oats give the best texture. Quick oats get too soft, while steel-cut oats stay too chewy for this recipe.
- For meal prep, keep crunchy toppings separate. Add granola, nuts, or seeds just before eating so they stay crisp.
