Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats

It’s pumpkin spice season! I personally don’t support Starbucks and I’m generally not someone who drinks syrupy coffees, or even buys coffee out and about very much these days… But, it’s actually super easy to make a pumpkin spice blend yourself, and today we’re making it into a healthier breakfast. Overnight oats are a go-to for me because they take 10 minutes to throw together and offer a healthy, convenient prep-ahead breakfast option.

INGREDIENTS

Oats:

Whole rolled oats (I don’t recommend porridge oats as they can get a little mushy once soaked)

Chia seeds

Pumpkin purée

Water

Greek yoghurt (or a plant-based alternative)

Milk (I used oat)

Maple syrup

Pumpkin spice blend (dried nutmeg, cinnamon, clove and ginger)

Toppings:

Pecans

Pumpkin seeds

Pumpkin seed butter

TIPS & NOTES

This is a simple recipe; just throw together the ingredients and (even if it looks like a lot of liquid to begin with) allow everything to soak and absorb overnight before topping and enjoying it the next day. If you want to prep the whole thing ahead of time, simply add the main mixture to your prep pots, let them sit in the fridge for 10-15 minutes and then top them, so your toppings sit on the surface.
