The Creamiest Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

These Creamy Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats are so easy to prep and throw in the fridge to grab in the morning. It’s like eating dessert for breakfast! Top with almond butter and crunchy granola (specifically, this 20-minute amazing pumpkin pecan granola).

I have been sharing nothing but pumpkin goodness with y’all and I’m not even a little bit sorry about it. We recently moved to a different apartment, which means I have to leave 15 minutes earlier than I used to for work.

Which means I no longer have time to lounge on the couch in my bath robe and eat breakfast. Just being real with y’all here- that’s what happens in this household.

Enter: the need for QUICK breakfasts that I can either

(A) eat while getting ready or

(B) eat in the car

Ya feel me? Overnight oats are the answer to that problem.

The BEST thing about overnight oats is that you can make them any way your heart desires. You could have a different kind each day of the week. With fall in full swing, you better believe these pumpkin overnight oats are heavy in my rotation. These lemon blueberry ones are so good, too. (Anyone else holding onto blueberry season for as long as they possibly can?)

I’m going to tell you how easy these are to make.

Are you ready?

Step 1: Dump all overnight oat ingredients into mason jar.

Step 2: Shake vigorously. Do a little dance. Do the macarena. Whatever you need to do to get it all mixed up.

Step 3: Refrigerate overnight. Catch some Zzz’s.

Step 4: In the morning, add your toppings of choice.

May I recommend this amazing and incredibly addicting PUMPKIN PECAN GRANOLA?! It’s done in 20 minutes and makes your house smell like a pumpkin spice candle. Pumpkin on pumpkin on pumpkin. That’s how I roll.

Other dee-lish toppings:

  • Nut butter (this one is my new fave.)
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Cacao Nibs

Nutritional Deets

Why are these Pumpkin Overnight Oats so fantastic? Let me count the ways. (Shakespeare, anyone?)

  • OATS: Complex carbohydrates. Slow to digest, gives you energy. Keeps you full long time.
  • CHIA SEEDS: Lots of good for you nutrients. Lots of fiber. More of keepin’ you full long time.
  • PUMPKIN: Fiber. Potassium. Vitamin C. Good stuff.
  • PROTEIN: From the yogurt and (optional) protein powder- Increased satiety. Helps you recover from your morning workout. Helps boost your metabolism as protein takes more energy to digest.

I can’t make any promises that there won’t be more pumpkin content coming to the blog. Pumpkin pancakes? Who knows. It’s fall and I’m fully embracing all the gourds of the season. If you make these Pumpkin Overnight Oats, use the tag #simplifiedeats so I can see!
