Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
- ½ cup milk (almond, dairy, oat, etc.; 120 ml)
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling; 60 ml)
- ¼ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (60 ml)
- 2 tsps maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
- Crushed pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
- Granola (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Select a sturdy glass container with a secure lid, ideal for overnight oats creation.
- Base Layer: Combine rolled oats, cold milk, Greek yogurt, and pumpkin puree in the container, whisking thoroughly to create a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Flavor Enhancement: Integrate chia seeds, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a tiny pinch of salt, ensuring all ingredients are completely blended without dry pockets.
- Chilling Process: Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for 6-8 hours, allowing flavors to meld and oats to soften completely.
- Finishing Touches: Remove from refrigerator, stir gently, and adjust consistency with additional milk if needed. Garnish with crushed nuts, optional whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving chilled.
Notes
- Optimize Oat Absorption: Ensure complete liquid coating of oats by whisking thoroughly, preventing dry clumps and promoting even hydration during overnight chilling.
- Balance Sweetness Strategically: Adjust maple syrup quantity based on personal preference, considering Greek yogurt’s natural tanginess and desired sweetness level.
- Enhance Nutritional Flexibility: Substitute dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for vegan adaptations, maintaining similar creamy consistency.
- Control Texture Precisely: Add chia seeds incrementally to manage thickness, allowing personalized control over final overnight oats’ density and mouthfeel.
