Healthy pumpkin overnight oats

There’s nothing that says “Fall” quite like an abundance of pumpkin recipes. From classic pumpkin spice lattes to pumpkin chia pudding and healthy pumpkin bread, pumpkin is the star of the show when the fall season hits!

Today I’m bringing you pumpkin pie in the form of overnight oats.

This Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats recipe is made by combining oats with ingredients like pumpkin pureé, pumpkin since and chia seeds to create a cold oatmeal that sits in the fridge overnight and is ready to go for breakfast.

It’s the perfect Fall-transitional breakfast when you feel like it’s time to give up your green smoothie, but it’s too soon to start making hot pumpkin oatmeal.

Why you’ll love this recipe

  • Easy to make. Pumpkin overnight oats take less than 10 minutes to make and are prepared by basically just mixing a bunch of ingredients together in a bowl. Yup, that’s it.
  • Fall flavours. If you love those cozy fall flavours then you are going to love these overnight oats! They’re made with warming pumpkin pie spice.
  • Meal prep-friendly. No time to make breakfast in the morning? This is the recipe for you! Prepare the overnight oats in individual jars and have them ready to go in the morning for easy breakfasts.

Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats ingredients

  • Oats: make sure to use rolled oats or quick oats when making overnight oats. Rolled oats will give the overnight oats a chewy and nutty texture and quick oats will give them a softer and fluffier texture. (Rolled oats are the way to go in my opinion.)
  • Chia seeds: these not only add nutrition to the overnight oats, but they help absorb liquid and make the overnight thicken.
  • Pumpkin spice: I use store-bought pumpkin pie spice for this recipe, but you could also make your own if you prefer.
  • Salt: just a pinch to balance the flavours.
  • Yogurt: I use greek yogurt in mine, but you can use any type of plain yogurt you like. If you want to keep the recipe dairy-free use vegan yogurt.
  • Pumpkin pureé: make sure to use pumpkin pureé and not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling is loaded with sugar and other ingredients.
  • Maple syrup: for some sweetness. You could also use honey, brown sugar or any other sweetener you love.
  • Almond milk: you can use any dairy or non-dairy milk.
  • Vanilla extract: just a splash for flavour.

How to make Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

Step 1

Mix the oats, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Then add the yogurt, pumpkin pureé, maple syrup, vanilla extract and almond milk.

Recipe variations

Make it high-protein: add a scoop of your favourite protein powder to the overnight oats. I recommend using either unflavored or vanilla protein powder for this recipe.

Make it vegan: swap out the yogurt for non-dairy yogurt. If you can’t find non-dairy yogurt you can also use coconut cream off the top of a can of full-fat coconut milk.

Make it gluten-free: while many oats are gluten-free, some oats technically aren’t gluten-free certified if you have a gluten allergy. If this is the case make sure to use gluten-free certified rolled oats.

Topping ideas

There are so many different toppings you can add to your overnight oats! Here are some of my favourites.

  • Greek yogurt
  • Pumpkin pie spice
  • Cinnamon
  • Pecans
  • Walnuts
  • Hemp seeds
  • Flax seeds
  • Drizzle of nut butter
  • Cacao nibs
  • Dark chocolate chips

How to store pumpkin overnight oats

Store these pumpkin pie overnight oats in an airtight container or sealed jar in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also double the recipe and store the oats in individual small jars so you can take them on the go with you.

Tips for making this recipe perfectly

  • Use rolled oats for a chewy texture. This is my preferred texture when it comes to overnight oats. You can also use quick oats, however, I find rolled oats give a nicer texture.
  • No pumpkin pie spice? Make your own. Mix together 1 tbsp of cinnamon, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp allspice and 1/4 tsp cloves. Use some of the spice mix for this recipe and save the rest for something else.
  • Store the oats in jars. Use a large mason jar, or these weck canning jars to store the overnight oats.

Overnight oats FAQ

Are overnight oats healthy for you?

Yes! Overnight oats make a healthy and delicious breakfast that is packed with whole grains, fibre and protein.

Why add chia seeds to overnight oats?

Chia seeds are very absorbent and help to soak up some of the liquid in the overnight oats to give the oats a thick and creamy consistency. Chia seeds also have many nutritional benefits that are great for you!

What oats are best for overnight oats?

Rolled oats (also called large flake oats) are best for overnight oats to give them a chewy texture. You can also use quick oats if you prefer a softer texture.
