A cozy and delicious overnight oats recipe featuring creamy pumpkin puree, toasted pecans, and rich maple syrup. Perfect for quick, nourishing fall mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree (120g)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240ml) – whole milk, unsweetened almond milk, or coconut milk
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (120g)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (30ml)
  • ¼ cup pecans, roughly chopped (30g), toasted
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (12g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (2g)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (0.5g)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the pecans: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add chopped pecans and toast, stirring frequently, for 4-5 minutes until fragrant and slightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool. (Optional step)
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl or directly in your jar, add rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir to mix evenly.
  3. Add pumpkin and wet ingredients: Stir in pumpkin puree, milk of choice, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are combined and the oats are coated with pumpkin and spices.
  4. Incorporate pecans: Fold in about half of the toasted pecans, reserving the rest for topping in the morning.
  5. Seal and refrigerate: Cover the jar or container tightly and place in the fridge overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
  6. Serve: In the morning, give the oats a gentle stir. Adjust thickness if needed by adding a splash of milk. Top with the remaining toasted pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup before eating.

Notes

Toast pecans separately to keep them crunchy. Use full-fat coconut milk and Greek yogurt for extra creaminess. Let oats soak overnight (at least 6 hours) for best texture. Add maple syrup after soaking for a fresher sweetness if desired. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge up to 4 days. Can be warmed gently before serving.
