Why You’ll Love Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats:

• Tastes like fall in a jar: Pumpkin, cinnamon, and vanilla make these oats the ultimate autumn breakfast.
• Zero morning effort: Mix the night before, chill, grab and go — breakfast is ready when you are!
• Protein-packed: Greek yogurt and chia seeds add staying power to keep you full all morning.
• Kid-approved: Sweet, creamy, and full of flavor — perfect for littles too!
• Meal prep friendly: Make four (or more!) jars ahead for a week of grab-and-go breakfasts.

Ingredients:

To make four servings, you’ll need:

• 2 cups rolled oats (use gluten-free if desired)
• 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
• 2 cups milk (I use unsweetened almond milk)
• 4 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling!)
• 8 tsp. maple syrup
• 2 tsp. good vanilla extract
• 4 tbsp. chia seeds
• 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Optional Toppings:

Toasted pecans, whipped cream, berries, granola, nut butter, or a dusting of cinnamon.

Equipment Needed

• 4 glass jars with lids (these jars or Mason jars work great!)
• Measuring cups + spoons
• A spoon or whisk for stirring

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats

Step 1: Combine ingredients.
In EACH glass jar, add:

• ½ cup oats
• ¼ cup vanilla Greek yogurt
• ½ cup milk
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
• 2 tsp. maple syrup
• ½ tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp. chia seeds
• ½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Stir everything well to combine — it might look loose at first, but the oats and chia will thicken it up overnight.

Step 2: Refrigerate.
Seal each jar with its lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The longer it sits, the creamier it gets!

Step 3: Add toppings & enjoy!
In the morning, give your oats a quick stir and top with your favorite mix-ins — I love toasted pecans, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for that pumpkin pie finish.

Storage & Meal Prep Tips

• Store sealed jars in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Stir REALLY well before refrigerating — the chia seeds can settle at the bottom.
• Add toppings right before eating to keep them crunchy and fresh.
• Double the recipe for an effortless family breakfast prep!

The Savvy Spoon Tip:

If your oats feel too thick in the morning, just add a splash of milk and stir!
Prefer them warm? Pop the jar (without the lid) into the microwave for 30–60 seconds, stirring halfway through.
