Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats (not instant)
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons granular monk fruit sweetener (like Lakanto granular sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl or mason jar, whisk together the almond milk, plain Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and granular monk fruit sweetener until smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and thicken the mixture into creamy overnight oats.
- Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, stir the oats again and enjoy as is or top with your favorite toppings such as nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use plain Greek yogurt to keep the recipe protein-rich and creamy without added sugars.
- Make sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid excess sweeteners and spices.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of monk fruit sweetener to your taste.
- Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- This recipe is best prepared the night before for optimal texture.
- Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it ideal for meal prep.
- Feel free to swap almond milk for other plant-based or dairy milks based on preference.
