Ingredients and Common Replacements
Here's what you need to make these scrumptious oats, along with some possible substitutions:
- Rolled Oats: If you're gluten-sensitive, go for certified gluten-free oats.
- Non-Dairy Milk: Use almond, rice, coconut, soy, or oat milk, depending on your preference.
- Pumpkin Puree: Sweet potato or butternut squash puree can be excellent alternatives if you don't have pumpkin on hand. The flavor will differ but it'll still be delish. Make sure the puree is smooth.
- Maple Syrup: Agave nectar, coconut sugar, or brown sugar will also work.
- Pumpkin Spice: If you don't have it, create your own by mixing ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, and a pinch each of nutmeg, and cloves.
How to make Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
Making overnight oats is a breeze. Here's how to do it:
- Add all the ingredients to a 14-16-ounce jar.
- Cover the jar with a lid and shake or stir really well to combine.
- Place it in the fridge for at least 6 hours or, ideally, overnight.
Variations + Topping Ideas
- Crunch: Top your oats with chopped pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or almonds, or my pumpkin spice granola for an extra crunch.
- Fruit: Add slices of banana, diced apples, or raisins for a fruity twist. The sweetness and freshness complement the spiciness of the oats perfectly.
- Chocolate: A sprinkle of chocolate chips or cocoa powder can turn your oats into a dessert-like treat.
- Protein Power: Stir in a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter.
Storing Recommendations
These oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Make a big batch and you'll have a quick and nutritious breakfast ready whenever you need it. Just give them a good stir before digging in to ensure that perfect consistency.
Frequently asked questions
Overnight oats are meant to be enjoyed cold. Instead of cooking the oats, they are left to soak in the fridge overnight, allowing them to absorb the milk along with the chia seeds. If you prefer a warm variation, you can gently heat them in the microwave or stovetop before enjoying them.
Canned pumpkin puree is more consistent, but homemade can be used if you prefer it. Just make sure it's smooth.
