Ingredients

With just a few simple ingredients like pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, plant-based milk, and vegan yogurt, these overnight oats take 5 minutes to prep and are creamy, cozy, and full of fall flavor.

Old-Fashioned Oats: For the best texture for overnight oats, make sure to use old-fashioned (rolled) oats. Quick oats get too mushy.

Plant-Based Milk: Any unsweetened non-dairy milk works.

Pumpkin Purée: Can't have a pumpkin pie flavor without pumpkin purée! Make sure you get pure pumpkin purée and not pumpkin pie filling.

Vegan Yogurt: Makes it creamy with a little tang. I recommend unsweetened.

Chia Seeds: Thicken the oats and gets them a super creamy texture. Ground flax works, too!

Maple Syrup: Adds sweetness. If you want them sweeter, add more!

Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend: You can use a pre-made pumpkin pie spice blend, or make your own with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves.

Salt: A small pinch enhances all the flavors.

Helpful Equipment

You don't need anything special to make overnight oats.

But I do recommend investing in a few jars with lids so you can prep your oats in advance and have them ready for several days.

Here are a few jars that I recommend: Overnight Oat Jars 2-pack, 16 oz Overnight Oats Containers and this 6 Pack Overnight Oats Containers with Spoons.

Step 3: In the morning, give it a good stir and serve with your favorite toppings such as coconut whipped cream, a drizzle of nut butter, granola, or chopped nuts.

Note: Take a few extra seconds in the morning to add toppings, especially crunchy ones like granola, so they stay fresh!

Substitutions & Toppings

Feel free to switch things up based on what you have on hand.

Milk: Any plant-based milk works. Soy, oat, almond, or even cashew! Use your favorite.

Yogurt: Coconut, almond, or soy yogurt works best for creaminess and a touch of tang. You can skip it, but you may need a little extra milk to keep the oats creamy.

Sweetener: Maple syrup can be replaced with agave syrup.

Chia Seeds: Can use ground flaxseed.

Toppings: Pecans, walnuts, or almonds, coconut whipped cream, dollop of vegan yogurt, granola, vegan chocolate chips, or a drizzle of nut butter are all delicious topping options!

Tips & Tricks

Avoid quick oats as they can become too mushy, and steel-cut oats, which require more time to soften. Old-fashioned oats are a must!

Use the appropriate jar. An 8oz jar will be filled to the top with oats and the toppings will overflow a bit so the jar won't close whereas a 16oz jar will allow room for toppings and the lid to close. The 16oz jar is preferred if you're taking the oats on the go.

Salt your oats! I know this sounds weird but trust me. It will help balance and bring out the flavors and won't make your oatmeal salty.

Give your oats a good stir before to mix in any liquid that may have settled at the top. If they've thickened too much, add a splash of plant-based milk.

Take a few extra seconds in the morning to add toppings, especially crunchy ones like granola, so they stay fresh!

Storage

Store your pumpkin pie overnight oats in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
