Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (e.g., unsweetened almond milk)
  • ½ cup (120g) 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped pecans or walnuts, pumpkin seeds, extra maple syrup, dollop of Greek yogurt, sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Grab a wide-mouth pint jar or airtight container with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Add the wet ingredients first: 1 cup milk, ½ cup pumpkin puree, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and no orange streaks remain.
  3. Add the dry ingredients: 1 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly, ensuring chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice to your preference.
  5. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
  6. Before serving, stir well to redistribute chia seeds. If too thick, add a splash of milk.
  7. Add desired toppings and enjoy cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; quick oats turn mushy, steel-cut oats won’t soften enough. Don’t skip the chia seeds—they create the thick, pudding-like consistency. For best flavor, let oats rest overnight (8-12 hours). The flavors deepen after a day or two in the fridge. To serve warm, transfer to a saucepan and heat over medium for 3-4 minutes, adding a splash of milk if needed.
