Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup (120g) unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (whole, almond, or oat milk)
- ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tbsp (30ml) maple syrup
- 1 tbsp (12g) chia seeds
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup (60g) maple pecans (pecans toasted with maple syrup and salt)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, pumpkin puree, milk, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup. Stir gently until evenly combined and smooth.
- Add pumpkin pie spice, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir again to distribute evenly.
- Spoon the mixture into 2 to 3 mason jars or airtight containers, leaving room at the top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and thicken.
- To prepare maple pecans, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add pecans and drizzle with 1 tbsp maple syrup. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes until pecans are toasted and sticky. Remove from heat and cool on parchment paper.
- Serve the oats cold, topped with a generous handful of cooled maple pecans. Stir in a splash of milk if oats are too thick.
Notes
Use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free diet. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based milk. Toast maple pecans carefully to avoid burning. Oats can be stored up to 4 days in fridge and frozen for 1 month. Stir in milk before eating if too thick. Optional add-ins include dried cranberries or raisins for texture and tartness.
