Variations + Topping Ideas

Crunch: Top your oats with chopped pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or almonds 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

Can I make these oats warm?

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.

Can I use homemade pumpkin puree?

Canned pumpkin puree is more consistent, but homemade can be used if you prefer it. Just make sure it's smooth.
