Pumpkin Overnight Oats! How is it mid October already and I haven’t made ONE pumpkin recipe?? I guess having a newborn might be the reason?! For those of you who know me, I love pumpkin….borderline obsessed with it. 

Well, today was a big day. I finally made a pumpkin recipe and I’m pretty excited about it. Overnight oats have always been a favorite breakfast of mine, but even more so now when I feel like I don’t have time to cook up a big breakfast in the mornings. These overnight oats are so satisfying, plus they’re loaded with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, which keep me full and ready to keep going with my busy days with my baby. Made with a few simple ingredients, this is the perfect fall breakfast (or snack)!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats

  • ½ cup almond milk

  • ¼ cup plain greek yogurt

  • 3 tbsp pumpkin puree

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

  • 2 tsp ground flaxseed or chia seed

  • ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice

  • Toasted pecans (optional) for topping

Directions:

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl or mason jar

  • Place in the refrigerator overnight and enjoy the next morning!

Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

This high fiber breakfast is a great option for when you’re on the go! I recommend making two servings at a time so you can have breakfast ready to go for two mornings. These oats taste decadent, but are guilt-free! The combination of high-fiber, complex carbs (oats and carrots) and healthy fats (chia seeds) will keep you feeling full and will keep things moving through your digestive tract.
