Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk of choice (e.g., Fairlife 2%)
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1–2 tbsp pure maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Toppings (Optional)
- Chopped pecans
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium glass jar or container, add the milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, rolled oats, chia seeds, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar or cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors, resulting in a creamy texture.
- Serve and Garnish: After refrigeration, give the oats a good stir. Top with chopped pecans and/or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Enjoy chilled for a refreshing and healthy breakfast.
Notes
- Use any milk you prefer including dairy or plant-based alternatives.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup based on your sweetness preference.
- For extra texture and crunch, add nuts or seeds as toppings.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for meal prep.
- For a lower sugar option, substitute pure maple syrup with a natural sweetener like stevia or erythritol.
