Pumpkin Overnight Oats are a perfect solution for all the fresh and canned pumpkin you have in your refrigerator. Rich and creamy, with a little maple and lots of pumpkin spice. They are so delicious you might find yourself skipping the pumpkin pie and making these for breakfast instead.
Pumpkin Overnight Oats
I am so thankful for the overnight oats bandwagon – and Pumpkin Overnight Oats with Chia are my fall favorite. After all, it is Fall and time to bust out the pumpkin recipes. Even though it is 80 degrees where I live, it is still technically Fall… or maybe winter. It is so confusing when you are wearing shorts in December.
If you missed my lecture about why you should be eating chia, check out the post for Cinnamon Chocolate Overnight Oats with Chia. It is definitely a superfood – so healthy for you. But I can also say firsthand that adding chia to what might have otherwise been a modest protein meal (the nuts and Greek yogurt also help with the protein), keeps me feeling satisfied all morning. I am not one of those people who can eat a rice cake for breakfast and be full until dinner but I am legitimately not hungry until well past my usual lunchtime. If you decide to add more or less chia to the recipe, keep in mind that for every tablespoon of chia that you add, you need to add 1/4 cup of liquid.
Pumpkin Overnight oats are good for a few days in the refrigerator. So when I make them, I line up jars on the counter and make a bunch at once. They are the perfect grab and go breakfast during the week. Lots of people like them cold but I like mine warmed a little with a dash of cream or milk on top.

This is a great recipe! I’d love it if you would share it on my new corn-free link party. https://www.creatingsilverlinings.com/corn-free-everyday-jan-20-15/
Hi Jillian. I shared! Thanks for the invite. I also shared my latest post. Interestingly – I eat very little corn. 🙂
