5-Minute, Cookie Vibes in a Jar!
It is satisfying to overnight oats for a quick breakfast. I’ve shared so many versions, like Overnight Oats with Chia Seeds, Brownie Batter Overnight Oats, and Peanut Butter Overnight Oats.
When fall shows up, I want pumpkin in everything. I set out a row of jars on Sunday night, open a can of pumpkin, and pull out the warm spices. A few jars get mini chocolate chips for the kids. Mine gets a sprinkle of chopped nuts. Mornings are busy with school drop-off, so I grab a jar, splash in a little milk, and I’m set.
That is how Pumpkin Overnight Oats was born in my kitchen. It tastes like a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie in oatmeal form and feels like a little treat at breakfast.
Ingredients
- Almond Butter: Use your favorite almond or nut butter. It is satisfying to slow-roasted almond butter.
- Milk: Any kind works; a reliable is vanilla almond milk.
- Oats: Old-fashioned oats are best; steel-cut and quick oats can get too mushy.
- Maple Syrup: You can swap this for honey or agave nectar.
- Vanilla: This is skippable, but it adds great flavor.
- Cinnamon and Pumpkin Pie Spice: These are important for that classic pumpkin pie flavor.
- Canned Pumpkin: Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which has added spices and sugar.
Quick Tip
Pumpkin Pie Spice is a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice. You can use my recipe to make it yourself or use the individual spices in these Pumpkin Overnight Oats.
