There’s nothing that says “Fall” quite like an abundance of pumpkin recipes. From pumpkin spice chia pudding to healthy pumpkin bread, and these Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats, pumpkin is truly the star of the Fall season.
When I first shared this recipe on the Choosing Chia Instagram, it went viral with thousands of people asked for the recipe. It’s become one of my most popular Fall breakfasts because it’s simple, nourishing, and truly tastes like pumpkin pie in a jar!
As someone who has tested dozens of overnight oats recipes from Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats to Matcha Overnight Oats and more, I’ve found that adding pumpkin purée not only gives the oats a deliciously cozy flavour but also makes them extra creamy. This is the perfect recipe to reach for when you have leftover pumpkin purée to use up and want a nourishing breakfast!
When To Make This
- Busy mornings: Prep a few jars ahead of time so you can grab breakfast straight from the fridge to eat at home or take with you on the go.
- Meal prep days: Double the recipe and portion it into jars for quick and healthy breakfasts all week long.
- After a workout: With 11 grams of protein per serving, this recipe makes a great post-workout breakfast.
- Using up leftover pumpkin purée: Perfect for those times you have an open can after baking some Healthy Pumpkin Muffins or Pumpkin Banana Bread and need a healthy way to use it up.
Key Ingredients
*This is a recipe overview. The full recipe with measurements is below in the recipe card.
- 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.)
- Pumpkin spice: I use store-bought pumpkin pie spice for this recipe, but you could also make your own if you prefer.
- Pumpkin puré: make sure to use pumpkin puré and not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling is is packed with sugar and other ingredients. If you have extra you can use it to make a Healthy Pumpkin Banana Bread.
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.
Step 2: Add the yogurt, pumpkin pureé, maple syrup, vanilla extract and almond milk.
Step 3: Stir to combine. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge overnight to set or for a minimum of 4 hours.
Step 4: Serve as is or top with your favourite toppings like yogurt and cinnamon.
Recipe Variations
This recipe is great as is, but here are a few recipe variations I’ve included if you’d like to make these Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats even higher in protein or vegan-friendly.
- Boost the protein: Stir in a scoop of protein powder like I add to my Protein Overnight Oats to make these oats even more filling. Vanilla or unflavoured protein powders work best with the pumpkin spice flavour.
- Make it vegan: Swap the yogurt for a non-dairy option, or use the thick cream from the top of a can of full-fat coconut milk for a rich and creamy texture.
How To Store
Store these Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats in an airtight container or sealed jar in the fridge for up to 4 days. For easy grab-and-go breakfasts, portion them into individual jars right after mixing.
Jess’s Tips
- Use rolled oats for the best texture: Rolled oats create a chewy, hearty bite. Quick oats will work but give a softer, mushier texture.
- Mix well before chilling: Make sure the oats, chia seeds, and pumpkin purée are evenly combined so the chia doesn’t clump as it thickens.
- Sweeten to taste: Start with the maple syrup in the recipe, then if needed add more in the morning if you like a sweeter breakafast.
- Portion into jars: Store the oats in individual jars or containers so they’re ready to grab and go. Mason jars or weck canning jars work well.
- Add toppings just before serving: Crunchy nuts, seeds, or Pumpkin Spice Granola are best added in the morning so they stay crisp.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Just microwave them for 30–60 seconds or warm them gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk.
Chia seeds help thicken the oats, but you can leave them out if needed. If you skip them, use 2-3 tablespoons less milk.
