Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup milk (choose between dairy or non-dairy options like almond or oat milk)

1/2 cup pumpkin puree (either canned or homemade)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (feel free to adjust to your desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

A pinch of salt

1/4 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt (optional, for added creaminess)

Optional toppings: Chopped pecans, whipped cream, a sprinkle of extra pumpkin pie spice, or raisins

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt (if using). Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.

      Combine Oats and Liquid: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry oats. Stir gently until all the oats are well coated in the delicious pumpkin mixture, ensuring there are no dry patches.

        Jar It Up: Using small jars (8 oz mason jars work wonderfully), divide the pumpkin-oat mixture evenly among the jars, leaving a little space at the top for your toppings.

          Chill Overnight: Secure the jars with their lids and place them in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and become soft and creamy (a minimum of 4 hours will also suffice if you’re short on time).

            Add Toppings and Serve: When you’re ready to enjoy your oats in the morning, take the jars out of the fridge. Top each serving with your choice of delicious options such as chopped pecans, a dollop of whipped cream, or a light sprinkle of additional pumpkin pie spice to enhance the flavors.
