Healthy Pumpkin Pie Protein Overnight Oats
This super easy recipe tastes like a slice of pumpkin pie straight from the Thanksgiving table! It’s easily doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled to serve more. The oats will keep for at least 4 days if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. (They're great for meal prepping!)
Ingredients
- ½ cup (120g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup (122g) pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie mix!)
- ¼ cup (25g) old-fashioned oats (gluten-free if necessary)
- 1 tbsp (12g) Truvia (see Notes!)
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon (see Notes!)
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a mason jar or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid, and stir until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Serve cold.
Notes
OAT ALTERNATIVES: For the best results, use either old-fashioned rolled oats or instant oats (also called "quick cooking" or "one-minute" oats!). If using steel-cut, your oats won't soften as much, and they'll remain somewhat crunchy.
SWEETENER ALTERNATIVES: Any sweetener will work in place of the Truvia (ie honey, pure maple syrup, coconut sugar, etc!). My other favorite (and the one I've started using more!) is ⅛ teaspoon of this liquid stevia. You can also adjust the amount of sweetener to suit your tastes!
CINNAMON NOTE: This is my favorite cinnamon because it tastes a bit stronger and sweeter than regular cinnamon. (I buy it online here!) If you prefer, you can substitute pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon instead.
GLUTEN FREE VERSION: Use certified gluten-free old-fashioned oats (I love these!) or gluten-free instant oats (I love these!).
CAN YOU HEAT OVERNIGHT OATS TO EAT WARM?: I’m hesitant to recommend heating these overnight oats to eat warm, whether in the microwave or on the stovetop, because of the yogurt. When heated too much or too long, it can curdle, which doesn’t taste all that great! However, if you’re cautious, it might work. (I just can't personally vouch for it!)
