Pumpkin Spice Oat Delight 🎃

🍴 Servings: 2
🕒 Prep Time: 5 minutes
🕖 Chilling Time: 4 hours or overnight
🕖 Total Time: 4 hours 5 minutes (or overnight)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (any type: dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional for added creaminess)
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings: chopped nuts, dried cranberries, chia seeds, extra maple syrup, or whipped cream
Instructions:
1️⃣ Mix the Ingredients:
In a medium bowl or jar, combine the pumpkin puree, rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
2️⃣ Chill Overnight:
Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soak and the flavors to meld.
3️⃣ Serve:
In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they’re too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
Top with your favorite toppings, such as chopped nuts, dried cranberries, chia seeds, or a drizzle of maple syrup. You can even add a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
4️⃣ Enjoy:
Serve the Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats chilled, or if you prefer, warm them up in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
