Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk of choice (I used Fairlife 2%)
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- 1–2 tbsp pure maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Toppings (optional)
- Chopped pecans
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium glass jar or container, add the milk, rolled oats, pumpkin puree, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and evenly combined.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or container and refrigerate the mixture for at least 6 hours, or overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors, resulting in a creamy texture.
- Serve: Before serving, give the oats a good stir. Garnish with chopped pecans and/or a dollop of whipped cream if desired for added texture and flavor. Enjoy your nutritious high protein pumpkin overnight oats as a convenient breakfast or snack.
Notes
- You can substitute the milk with any plant-based milk to keep it dairy-free.
- Adjust the maple syrup quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
- For a thicker consistency, use less milk or increase oats slightly.
- The pumpkin pie spice can be replaced or complemented with cinnamon and nutmeg if preferred.
- Make sure to use old-fashioned rolled oats; instant oats won’t work as well for overnight soaking.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
