Can I make overnight oats without chia seeds?

Definitely! For this recipe, I recommended reducing the amount of liquid by 1-2 tablespoons since the chia seeds won't be there to absorb the liquid.

How do I store these overnight oats?

Store pumpkin pie overnight oats in an airtight container or divide servings into glass jars to take on the go for the perfect meal prep pumpkin breakfast! They taste best within 5 days.

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

Yep! Keep the ratio that same as with whole rolled oats, and the texture is still super thick and creamy.

Can I warm up pumpkin overnight oats?

Sure can! Just 1-2 minutes in the microwave, and these oats are ready for a warmer pumpkin breakfast.

Instructions

Combine dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine oats, chia seeds, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix together.
Add wet ingredients. Add the milk, yogurt, pumpkin, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir all ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
Chill. Place oats in an airtight container (such as jars or airtight glass storage containers) and chill for at least 3-4 hours, ideally overnight.
Remove from fridge, top, eat. The next morning or when you're ready to eat, fetch your oats from the fridge and top with nuts, seeds, yogurt, or whipped cream.

Notes

Storage & freezing instructions. Store the oats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can freeze overnight for up to 3 months, and let them thaw in the fridge overnight before you plan to enjoy them.
Cook time. These oats take at least 4 hours to soak in the fridge, but your kitchen efforts only last up to 10 minutes!
Fewer dishes. Sometimes I like to make the oats directly in the container I plan to chill them in. That way you only need dirty up one bowl!
Vegan version. Be sure to use a plant-based yogurt and milk instead of dairy. Some of my favorite brands for ultra-creamy vegan dairy: The Forager Project, Siggi's, Elmhurst milks, and Cocojune. All SO good!
