This is one of my favorite go-to breakfasts at the moment. It’s incredibly quick in the morning and only takes 5 minutes (or less!) to throw together at night. And I’ll mention that it tastes like FALL IN A JAR. I have to admit I’m on the pumpkin bandwagon, and I love all the flavors associated with it like cinnamon and nutmeg. Cinnamon is also excellent for stabilizing blood sugar, and oats are such a great addition to any diet as they’re loaded with soluble fiber. You want to find whole rolled oats instead of quick oats, as they break down less quickly into glucose in the blood stream. I’ve used unsweetened almond milk here, but really any nut milk or dairy milk will work.

Pumpkin Overnight Oats

What you need: a Mason jar, or a bowl with a lid

Serves 2-3

Ingredients:

1 cup of whole rolled oats
1/4 cup of pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
1 tbsp. of chia seeds
1 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice
1/4-1/2 tsp. of cinnamon (depending on your preference)
~1 cup of unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice, or enough to cover all ingredients

Method:

The night before, place all ingredients in a mason jar and mix thoroughly. Let sit in the fridge overnight to set. Microwave in the morning for ~2 minutes. Feel free to garnish with more cinnamon, pumpkin seeds, raisins, banana slices, or whatever fixings you like!
