Vegan Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats offer the comforting flavors of fall in a convenient and nourishing breakfast option. Rolled oats are combined with pumpkin puree, plant-based milk, and warm spices to create a delightful and creamy oatmeal that’s ready to enjoy as soon as you wake up.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (gluten-free oats if needed)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk (almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix (or a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts (for topping, optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
In a bowl or a mason jar, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, plant-based milk, chia seeds, maple syrup or agave syrup, pumpkin spice mix, and vanilla extract.
Stir well to ensure that all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the oats are coated with the pumpkin puree and spices.
Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4-6 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
Before serving, give the oats a good stir to make sure everything is well combined. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more plant-based milk to achieve the desired consistency.
Top the Vegan Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats with chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for added texture and flavor.
Serve:
- Serve the Vegan Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats cold, straight from the refrigerator.
TIPS
You can customize the sweetness level by adjusting the amount of maple syrup or agave syrup to your taste.
Feel free to add other toppings such as dried fruits, seeds, or a dollop of plant-based yogurt.
