Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats with Chia


If you’re an OG Ambitious Kitchen reader you’re going to recognize and love this one. I made these creamy pumpkin overnight oats back in 2016 and they quickly became one of my absolute favorite breakfast recipes of all time.

I remember coming ،me from early morning workouts to find these pumpkin pie overnight oats in the fridge and they were truly the BEST s، to the day. They’re packed with protein and fiber — making them the perfect post-workout breakfast, and they 100% taste like a slice of creamy pumpkin pie.

I recommend doubling up this recipe to meal prep for the week and even letting your kiddos or roommate enjoy them. They won’t be able to get enough! Top with cinnamon, pecans, and of course, a little whipped cream because life’s too s،rt.

Ingredients in pumpkin pie overnight oats

These pumpkin overnight oats are seriously what breakfast dreams are made of. Creamy, protein-packed and full of true pumpkin pie flavor! Here’s what you’ll need to make them:

  • Rolled oats: I recommend using rolled oats (gluten free if you want) in order to get the perfect, creamy texture.
  • Greek yogurt: I used ،ic plain greek yogurt for a little boost of protein and to keep the oats creamy. Trust me, the yogurt is necessary.
  • Chia seeds: I like adding chia seeds for a boost of healthy ،s and to help firm up the creaminess.
  • Pumpkin puree: please don’t use pumpkin pie mix! Opt for real pumpkin here. I buy canned pumpkin because of the convenience, but you can also make your own with this tutorial.
  • Almond milk: I add some almond milk to get the right consistency, but you can use any milk you’d like.
  • Maple syrup: we’re naturally sweetening the pumpkin overnight oats with a bit of pure maple syrup.
  • Vanilla extract: for some additional flavor.
  • Cozy ،es: mix it all up with pumpkin pie ،e for that true pumpkin pie flavor! If you don’t have pumpkin pie ،e you can use a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg and ground ، (see the notes section for amounts).

Can I use steel cut oats?

Unfortunately, no, I cannot recommend using steel cut oats because they will not absorb as much liquid as rolled oats so the texture will not turn out right.

Easy ingredient swaps & add-ins

Looking to customize these pumpkin pie overnight oats? Here’s what I can recommend:

  • Make them dairy free: if you’re dairy free, try using a coconut or almond milk yogurt.
  • Swap the chia seeds: if you’re not into chia seeds, you could try flaxseed meal (ground up flaxseeds) or ، seeds.
  • Delicious add-ins: these pumpkin overnight oats would be delicious with dried cranberries, coconut flakes, pecans, almond or peanut ،er, a teas، of c،colate chips, a little whipped cream on top!

Do you have to cook overnight oats?

Nope! The best part about this pumpkin overnight oats recipe is that there’s no cooking required. When the oats soak in the liquid and ،es they create the perfect, creamy texture that’s just like cooked oats.

Can you eat overnight oats warm?

Yep! I typically eat these pumpkin overnight oats cold, but if you prefer your oats warm you can feel free to heat them up in the microwave for a minute or two before eating them. Just be sure to stir after heating them so that the consistency remains the same.

How to store pumpkin overnight oats

These pumpkin pie overnight oats will stay good in the refrigerator in an airtight container or mason jar for up to 5 days. This makes them portable and easy to enjoy on-the-go during busy weekdays. Just be sure to give them a good stir if they’ve been sitting for a couple of days and/or add another splash of almond milk.

If you’re into meal prep like me, here’s a tip: Make a few jars on Sunday night and keep them covered in the fridge for up to a week. Nosh on them when you don’t have any time to cook in the mornings, take them to work to enjoy or just eat them for dessert (and top with a little whip!).
