I really like overnight oats. I also really like pumpkin pie. It’s also fall, and as a food blogger it is my sworn duty and responsibility to post at least one good pumpkin spice recipe before the season ends and we move on to Santa cupcakes and hot chocolate.
This recipe is what I would call skinny-ish. What I mean is that it’s not totally, completely clean and skinny, but it’s well within my standards for a guilt free breakfast. You’ll have to look at the recipe and decide for yourself, but I’m calling it good. And of course, you can always make omissions or substitutions if it doesn’t suit your tastes or diet. I rarely make a recipe exactly the way I found it, so no judgement from me. You do you, sister.
You should also be aware that this is a fairly large portion size of oatmeal, so if you want to break it up between two jars (or share a little with your kid like I do), don’t feel ashamed. I won’t look down on you if you want a lighter breakfast. I also won’t look down on you if you want to start your day completely full. Again, you do you.
Side note: I made my own pumpkin spice because I didn’t have any. See the recipe I used here.

- 3/4 cup oatmeal
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- 3/4 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 3 tbsp plain greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup almond milk sweetened or unsweetened
-
Add all ingredients in the order listed in a pint sized mason jar, put a lid on it, and shake until well combined. You may have to use a spoon to get the liquid to go down into the dry layer so that it will all fit in the jar.
-
Refrigerate overnight.
Pretty easy, right? Do you like overnight oats or do you have another favorite fast and easy breakfast?
Can’t get enough pumpkin spice?
Love love love this! All things fall make me giddy but I especially love a recipe to make my morning routine with the kids easier!
Amen, sister!
Awesome recipe! I definitely will try it out.

Let me know how you like it!
I used to make overnight oats all the time! Pumpkin pie oats sounds like the perfect recipe for the fall!
Thanks! Hope you get to try them 🙂
There is a big difference between pie filling and puree so I am glad to you made that clear. Will have to try your recipe for over night oats.
Hope you like them!
IN the morning, do you warm it up or eat it cold from the refrigerator? I feel like this is a stupid question! But I don’t think I’ve ever eaten cold oatmeal.
Generally you eat it cold because it’s quick, but if that weirds you out you could probably heat it up. I haven’t tried so I’m not sure, but I don’t see why not!
Ok so I made it last night, minus the Chia seeds and the yogurt because I didn’t have them. I heated it up this morning and topped with a handful of walnuts and OMG was it delicious. I will be making this all the time. Thank you!
That’s awesome, thanks for letting me know how it turned out! And I’m glad to know it heats up well now too 🙂
I’ve still been wanting to try out overnight oats! I’m so glad it’s pumpkin season 🙂 Looks really good!
Overnight oats are the best, pumpkin or not. My other favorite is chocolate peanut butter 🙂
Grat idea to leave it overnight. Morning will be much faster. I have to try your recipe
Hope you like it!
Oh my gosh I have to try this recipe! We make overnight oats all the time and they’re the BEST. Fast, easy, and we’ll make several days at a time and put them in mason jars in the fridge. But to be honest, I never switch it up so it’s getting a little boring. Thank you!!
Yes you should mix it up! There are so many great recipes out there I haven’t even tried a fraction of them myself 🙂
LOVE overnight oats!! and fall flavors are the best
Yes and yes!
I have never made overnight oats, but I’m going to change that ASAP! Especially on those mornings when I get up super early and need to eat with making a lot of noise in the kitchen.
They are perfect for sneaky breakfasts
Mmm love pumpkin anything and this looks great!

Overnight oats are my jam! 🙂
I’ve never tried overnight oats, but I think this nay be the recipe to try it on! I’m loving that everything is pumpkin inspired these days!! <3
I know, it only lasts for about 2 months and then everything turns to red and green and peppermint 🙂
