Instructions

  • Put everything in a bowl: Put all of the ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Mix: Stir everything really well. Make sure the pumpkin and spices are evenly mixed through the oats.
  • Portion: Divide the mixture between two jars or airtight containers.
  • Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, although overnight gives the best texture.
  • Serve: Stir before serving. If the oats have become thicker than you like, add a small splash of milk until they reach your preferred consistency.
  • Add toppings: Top with chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds or any of the suggestions in the main post.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats rather than quick or steel-cut oats for the best creamy texture without becoming mushy.
  • Stir the pumpkin puree, yogurt and spices together really well so the spice is evenly distributed.
  • Taste the mixture before refrigerating and add extra maple syrup if you prefer sweeter overnight oats.
  • Add crunchy toppings just before serving rather than the night before.
  • If adding protein powder or chia seeds, expect to need a little more milk.
  • Wide jars are easier to stir and much easier to eat from than narrow jars.
  • Add a little vanilla extract if you want a sweeter, more dessert-like flavour.
  • Use certified gluten-free oats if you need the recipe to be gluten free.
