Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Mixture
- 2 1/4 cups milk
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 3 Tbsp. instant espresso powder
- 2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice, plus more for sprinkling
Oats and Seeds
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, divided
- 8 tsp. chia seeds, divided
Finishing Touch
- 3/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt, divided
Instructions
- Prepare the Liquid Mixture: In a large measuring cup, thoroughly combine the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, instant espresso powder, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until the espresso powder and sugar are well dissolved, creating a smooth, spiced latte-flavored base.
- Assemble the Overnight Oats: Divide the mixture evenly among 4 (12-ounce) jars or airtight containers. To each container, add ½ cup of old-fashioned rolled oats and 2 teaspoons of chia seeds. Stir gently to ensure the oats are fully submerged in the liquid, promoting proper soaking and texture development.
- Refrigerate to Soak: Cover the jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 3 days. This resting period allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the flavorful liquid, soften, and thicken into a creamy overnight oats consistency.
- Add Yogurt and Serve: Before serving, add a dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt (about 3 tablespoons) over each jar of oats. Optionally, sprinkle additional pumpkin pie spice on top for extra seasonal flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy a cozy, nutrient-packed breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute dairy milk with any plant-based milk, such as almond, oat, or soy milk, to make the recipe dairy-free.
- If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, increase the instant espresso powder to 4 tablespoons.
- For a thicker texture, increase the amount of chia seeds to 3 teaspoons per serving.
- Overnight oats can be refrigerated for up to 3 days, making them great for meal prep.
- Add toppings like chopped nuts, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup before serving for added texture and sweetness.
