Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for added creaminess)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, based on preference)

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

1/4 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional for added crunch)

2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional for increased nutrition)

Fresh whipped cream or yogurt for topping (optional)

Additional pumpkin pie spice for garnish

Instructions
 

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, and canned pumpkin puree. Mix thoroughly until the oats are evenly coated and the mixture is well blended.

    Gently fold in the Greek yogurt (if using), maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

      If you’re adding chia seeds, incorporate them now and stir well to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.

        Evenly divide the prepared oat mixture into two jars or airtight containers, leaving some space at the top for toppings.

          Seal the jars tightly and place them in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This chilling time allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften perfectly.

            In the morning, stir the oats well before serving. If the mixture seems too thick for your liking, add a splash of almond milk to reach your preferred consistency.

              Enhance your oats with a generous sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts, a dollop of whipped cream or additional yogurt if desired, and finish with a light dusting of pumpkin pie spice for a festive touch.

                Enjoy your nourishing and flavorful Spiced Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats straight from the jar for convenience, or pour into a bowl for a more elegant presentation!
