Print Recipe

These creamy pumpkin overnight oats with maple and pecans are the perfect no-cook breakfast. They taste like dessert but keep you full until lunch, and they’re made with simple ingredients you probably already have.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120g) pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ¼ cup (30g) chopped pecans
  • Optional toppings: extra maple syrup, yogurt, cinnamon, pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. Toast the pecans (optional but recommended): Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped pecans and stir frequently for 3-4 minutes until they smell nutty and look slightly darker. Set aside to cool.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add the dry ingredients: Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and a tiny pinch of salt to the bowl. Stir everything together until the oats are fully coated and there are no dry patches.
  4. Divide into jars: Pour the mixture evenly into two jars or containers. Leave about an inch of space at the top for toppings.
  5. Refrigerate overnight: Put the lids on and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best.
  6. Add toppings in the morning: Take the jars out of the fridge. Give them a good stir. If too thick, stir in a splash of milk.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Top with the toasted pecans, an extra drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Eat cold or microwave for 30-60 seconds if you prefer warm oats.

Notes

Don’t add the pecans until ready to eat to keep them crunchy. The oats keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and non-dairy milk. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
