Creamy Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats with Chia

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

¼ cup (56 g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt (or vanilla Greek yogurt)

½ cup (120 g) unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any milk of choice)

¼ cup (61 g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1–2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup (48 g) rolled oats (gluten‑free if desired)

2 teaspoons chia seeds

½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg & ginger)

Directions

I whisk the Greek yogurt, almond milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a medium bowl until smooth.

I stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.

I transfer the mixture to a jar or an airtight container, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Before serving, I give it a good stir and top it with extras like pecans, more pumpkin spice, or a dollop of yogurt for a bit more creaminess.

Variations

I sometimes use vanilla Greek yogurt for extra sweetness and flavor.

For a vegan option, I swap the Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative.

I like to mix in flax seeds or hemp hearts for added nutrients.

When I want more texture, I top it with crushed graham crackers or granola before eating.

If I want more protein, I stir in a scoop of protein powder or collagen.

Storage/Reheating

I store these oats in the fridge in an airtight container or mason jar. They stay fresh for up to 4 days, which makes them great for prepping ahead. I don’t reheat them since they’re meant to be eaten cold, but if I prefer a warm breakfast, I gently warm them on the stovetop or microwave, stirring occasionally.

FAQs

How long do overnight oats last in the fridge?

They typically last up to 4 days when stored in an airtight container. I just make sure to give them a good stir before eating.

Can I use steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats?

Steel-cut oats don’t soften the same way overnight, so I stick with rolled oats for the best texture. Quick oats can work too if I want something softer.

What’s the best milk to use?

I usually go with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but any milk works — dairy, oat, soy, or coconut. I just use what I have on hand.

Can I make this recipe sugar-free?

Yes! I just skip the maple syrup or replace it with a sugar-free alternative like stevia or monk fruit.

What toppings go well with these pumpkin oats?

I like adding chopped pecans, a drizzle of nut butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even a few chocolate chips when I want a treat.

These Creamy Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats with Chia are the perfect make-ahead breakfast for fall and beyond.
