Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree unsweetened
  • 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional sweetener
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice optional
  • 1 pinch salt

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon
  • Jar or container with lid

Method
 

  1. Combine the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and maple syrup in a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and the oats are evenly coated with the spices and pumpkin.
  2. Pour the mixture into a jar or container with a lid, making sure everything is evenly distributed. Seal tightly to prevent spills and ensure even soaking.
  3. Place the jar in the refrigerator and let it soak overnight or for at least 6 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the flavors and become tender, with a creamy yet chunky texture.
  4. Remove the jar from the fridge the next morning. Give the oats a gentle stir to incorporate any separated liquids and check the consistency.
  5. Scoop the pumpkin spice overnight oats into bowls. The mixture should be creamy with visible oats and a smooth, thick texture. Garnish with your favorite toppings like chopped nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup if desired.
  6. Enjoy your cozy, flavorful breakfast—a perfect balance of spice, pumpkin, and creamy oats ready to start your day with fall-inspired warmth.
