7 Ingredients
The best part about overnight oats is how simple it is.
Throw all the ingredients in a bowl, jar or whatever floats your boat, mix it together, refrigerate and bam breakfast is ready!

The 7 ingredients
- Old Fashioned Oats: classic old-fashioned rolled oats work well for a good texture.
- Vanilla Greek Yogurt: You can use plain Greek yogurt as well, just add a splash of vanilla extract!
- Pumpkin Puree: a solid ¼ cup will give you good pumpkin flavor.
- Milk: I like adding a decent amount of liquid to help keep the consistency not too thick.
- Maple Syrup: the perfect fall sweetener.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: I add a lot! But it's worth it!
- Chia Seed: they absorb 9x their weight in volume, so they help absorb the milk and create a thicker consistency.

Mix it together until it's well combined. Cover the bowl or container and refrigerate!
You can make it the night before or meal prep it ahead of time and eat it within the next 5 days.
Toppings
Toppings make oatmeal or overnight oats the best in my opinion. I find oatmeal too mushy sometimes, so I like adding more texture.
Try some of these ideas out for extra crunch or flavor:
- Granola
- Pumpkin seeds
- Pecans or sliced almonds
- Extra chia seeds or ground flaxseed
- Fresh fruit like banana slices or chopped apple
- An extra dollop of Greek yogurt
Serving Suggestions
You can make this recipe and divide it up in 2 smaller servings or 1 large mason jar.
My personal preference is to divide it up into smaller containers and adding a boost of protein on the side with eggs.
You could also boost the protein by adding protein powder if you're looking for a more filling oatmeal.

Recipe Tips and FAQs
Absolutely! You may want to add more maple syrup depending on the level of sweetness you desire. I'd also add a good splash of vanilla extract.
You can! Swap the milk for whatever plant-based milk you enjoy as well as the Greek yogurt. Silk and Kite Hill make plant-based Greek yogurts that will give you the same texture and protein as regular Greek yogurt.
Yes! I do this sometimes when I want a warm breakfast rather than cold overnight oats.
