Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (any kind, whole milk recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) canned pumpkin puree (100% pumpkin, not pie filling)
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
  • 2 tablespoons (20g) chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until no lumps remain, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add rolled oats, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir with a spoon until oats and chia seeds are evenly distributed. The mixture will look thin.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly into four 8-ounce jars or two 16-ounce jars, leaving about half an inch of space at the top for expansion.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, ideally 12 hours. The oats will keep for up to 5 days.
  5. In the morning, stir the jar well, scraping the bottom to incorporate settled chia seeds.
  6. Serve cold or microwave for 30-45 seconds if desired. Add toppings like extra maple syrup, chopped pecans, dried cranberries, or whipped cream.

Notes

For best texture, let oats sit for 12 hours. Don’t skip the salt—it enhances sweetness. Toast oats at 350°F for 8-10 minutes for extra flavor. For meal prep, layer dry toppings at the bottom of the jar before adding oat mixture. Adjust sweetness to taste by varying maple syrup. If using quick oats, reduce milk by 2 tablespoons and refrigerate for 6-8 hours only.
