    ‘Tis the season for all things pumpkin! There’s certainly no shortage of pumpkin-filled goodies around here. I’ve shared fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes, savory Pumpkin Hummus, sweet Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, and lots more in between. However, much to my surprise, I recently noticed oatmeal wasn’t include in this list. So I whipped up these dreamy pumpkin pie overnight oats!

    Since the fall season is a busy time of year, effortless meals are desperately needed. You’ll find relief from your chaotic schedule with this quick and easy, make-ahead breakfast. Spend just 5 minutes of prep time the night before, and these pumpkin overnight oats will be ready first thing in the morning. Grab them straight from the fridge as you head out the door or pack them in your bag for later.

    Although it tastes like you’re eating a delicious dessert for breakfast, these soaked oats are actually good for you. Don’t be fooled by the sweet pumpkin pie flavor, creamy consistency, and warm fall spices. Surprisingly, they’re made with no refined sugar and wholesome ingredients!

    The best part? You can customize the recipe for any time of day. Try it as a nourishing breakfast with fresh fruit and almond butter on top. Alternatively, add whipped cream and candied pecans for a post-dinner treat. They’ll satisfy your sweet tooth no matter the occasion.

    These pumpkin overnight oats are:

    • Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free
    • Sweet, creamy, cozy, and comforting
    • A healthy fall breakfast recipe
    • Flavored with pumpkin spice and maple syrup
    • An on-the-go meal prep breakfast for busy families
    • A nutritious alternative to pumpkin pie!

    Ingredients in pumpkin pie overnight oats

    • Oats: Overnight oatmeal is made with rolled oats. Don’t use steel cut or instant oats. Rolled oats are great for soaking overnight because they have been steamed and flattened.
    • Milk: Use any type of non-dairy milk or regular milk. I always make mine with unsweetened almond milk or oat milk.
    • Yogurt: This is an optional ingredient, but I highly recommend including it. You can add any type of non-dairy yogurt or regular yogurt. It will give the oats a thicker and creamier consistency.
    • Pumpkin puree: Pumpkin puree is cooked pumpkin that has been blended or mashed into a smooth pulp. Be sure to use unsweetened canned pumpkin puree, not sweetened pumpkin pie filling.
    • Maple syrup: Instead of refined sugar, this pumpkin oatmeal is sweetened naturally with real maple syrup. Alternatively, try it with honey, coconut sugar, or agave nectar.
    • Chia seeds: Chia seeds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, high in fiber, and they expand while soaking. This helps create a soft, fluffy texture.
    • Vanilla extract: Add a dash of vanilla extract for a sweeter flavor.
    • Pumpkin spice: This warm fall spice blend contains cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and ginger. It’s an essential flavoring for pumpkin recipes.
    • Cinnamon: Add an extra dash of cinnamon if you love it. It’s one of the healthiest spices with anti-inflammatory benefits and antioxidants.
    • Salt: Just a pinch is needed to enhance the flavor of other ingredients.

    How to make overnight oats with pumpkin puree

    For the full ingredient measurements and step-by-step instructions, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

    First, add rolled oats, milk, yogurt (optional), pumpkin puree, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, cinnamon (optional), and salt to a jar. Mix the ingredients together, then seal with a lid.

    Next, store the oats in the refrigerator overnight or at least 4 hours.

    The next morning (or whenever you are ready to eat), remove the lid and stir the oats. If desired, add a splash of milk to thin the consistency.

    Enjoy the oats directly out of the jar or transfer them to a bowl. Add any toppings of your choosing, like almond butter, pecans, whipped cream, and granola. Enjoy!

    • Cocoa powder: Create chocolate pumpkin overnight oats by adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder or raw cacao powder.
    • Protein powder: Mix in a scoop of your favorite protein powder to transform the recipe into high protein oatmeal. Try it with vanilla, chocolate, or an unflavored variety.
    • Maca powder: This superfood is a great source of iron and iodine. It has a nutty, butterscotch-like flavor that pairs well with pumpkin.

    Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

    Are overnight oats healthy? Are they good for weight loss?

    Of course! Soaked oatmeal is a healthy breakfast recipe. Since oats are high fiber and low calorie, they can be included in a weight loss journey. Oatmeal is a slow-digesting carbohydrate, which helps you feel full for several hours. This makes it a better breakfast for weight loss than fast-digesting carbohydrates (like cereal and bagels).

    Does canned pumpkin have to be cooked?

    No. Canned pumpkin has already been steamed and pureed before packaging, so it’s safe to consume directly from the can. In other words, don’t cook it before making this recipe.

    How do you make overnight oats not gummy?

    The secret to perfect overnight oats is using the correct amount of oats and liquid. If your oatmeal always ends up too gummy, you’re probably not using enough liquid! I recommend following a 1:1 ratio of oats to milk. This means you should use ½ cup milk for ½ cup oats (or 1 cup milk for 1 cup oats).

    Can I make pumpkin overnight oats without yogurt?

    Absolutely. Non-dairy yogurt (or regular yogurt) is optional. Yet, I highly recommend including it because it makes the texture creamier.

    Should I drain water from overnight oats?

    You should never have to drain liquid (like water or milk) from overnight oats. If you are following a 1:1 ratio of oats to liquid and soaking it overnight, the oatmeal should be thick and creamy. If you accidentally add too much liquid, stir in extra rolled oats, chia seeds, or nut butter to fix it.

    Can I make pumpkin overnight oats with protein powder?

    Yes, add a scoop of protein powder to transform it into a protein-packed breakfast.

    How to store pumpkin overnight oats

    Soaked oatmeal is best enjoyed within 24 hours. However, you can keep them stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Be sure they are tightly sealed in a jar with a lid.
