How do you make pumpkin overnight oats?
Overnight oats are very simple to make – it’s simply a matter of mixing together the ingredients and refrigerating overnight. Here are the simple steps to making these delicious pumpkin pie overnight oats.
- In a mason jar or any resealable container, mix together the milk, yogurt, pumpkin, sweetener and vanilla.
- Using a whisk will help eliminate any lumps from the yogurt.
- To the wet ingredients, add the oats, chia seeds, salt and pumpkin pie spice.
- Stir together well using a rubber scraper or spoon.
Refrigerate the oats overnight
Refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to help the oats and chia seeds steep and soften.
Do this before you go to bed at night and when you wake up in the morning you’ll have a tasty, healthy and delicious ready and waiting!
How long should I refrigerate overnight oats?
Overnight oats will need at least 6 hours to steep and soften. They will taste the best and have the best texture after 1-2 days, but will keep refrigerated for up to 7 days.
For this reason, making overnight oats are a great breakfast meal prep option. You can make them on the weekend and enjoy for breakfast all throughout the week.

What toppings are good for overnight oats?
There are many options to topping your pumpkin overnight oats – here are just a few:
- Pecans and/or pecan butter (pictured above)
- Cinnamon, nutmeg and/or pumpkin pie spice
- Sliced bananas with a drizzle of honey
- Walnuts or pepitas
- Honey Crisp apple slices and cinnamon

When choosing nut butters or pumpkin or apple butters, make sure to read your labels carefully. Choose products that contain little or no added sugars. Also, good quality nut butters will contain very few ingredients (look for just nuts/seeds and salt). Steer clear of any product containing added oils or sugars.

FAQ’s about making pumpkin overnight oats:
You can eat overnight oats right away, however, the taste and texture is optimal when the oats and chia seeds have the chance to “steep” or soften for at least 6 hours. They will taste better, taking on additional flavors (from the spices & pumpkin) and will be easier to digest.
Overnight oats will last for up to 5 days. They will taste the best and have the best texture 1-2 days after they are made.
Old Fashioned rolled oats or steel cut oats are ideal for making overnight oats. These oats are much more nutritious and less processed than instant oatmeal. I do NOT recommend using instant oatmeal to make overnight oats, as it will quickly turn to mush when combined with the milk and yogurt.
The base for overnight oats is 1:1:1. One part oats, 1 part milk and 1 part yogurt.
