Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are fully mixed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to soak and absorb the flavors, achieving the perfect creamy texture.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. You can enjoy the oats cold straight from the fridge or warm them up in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds if you prefer a warm breakfast.
Notes
- Use your preferred milk such as almond, soy, oat, or regular dairy milk depending on dietary needs.
- The maple syrup can be adjusted or substituted with honey or agave nectar.
- For added texture and flavor, top with nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit before serving.
- Overnight oats can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
