Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add the rolled oats, milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined to create a uniform mixture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, while the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to redistribute any separated liquid. You can enjoy the oats cold directly from the fridge or warm them up in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds if you prefer a warm breakfast.
Notes
- Use any type of milk you prefer, such as almond, soy, oat, or cow’s milk to suit your dietary needs.
- For added texture and nutrients, top with chopped nuts or seeds before serving.
- If you like a sweeter taste, feel free to add extra maple syrup or a drizzle of honey.
- Ensure to store the oats covered properly in the fridge to keep them fresh until serving.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to prepare multiple servings in advance.
