A cozy, creamy, and protein-rich pumpkin overnight oats recipe perfect for an easy and nourishing breakfast that’s ready to go right out of the fridge.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • ½ cup (120g) pumpkin puree (pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ½ cup (120g) vanilla Greek yogurt (e.g., Fage)
  • ¾ cup (180ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 scoop (~30g) vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder (e.g., Orgain)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: toasted pecans, pumpkin seeds, almond butter

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir to distribute spices evenly.
  2. In a separate bowl or large measuring jug, whisk together ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt, ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk, ½ cup pumpkin puree, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, and 1-2 tbsp maple syrup until smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir gently but thoroughly to combine.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly into two 16-ounce mason jars or similar airtight containers.
  5. Seal the jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally 8-10 hours, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and thicken.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats to blend any settled ingredients and add optional toppings such as toasted pecans or a drizzle of almond butter before serving.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant or steel-cut oats. Whisk wet ingredients thoroughly to prevent protein powder clumps. Adjust sweetness after chilling if needed. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use plant-based protein powder. Add toppings just before serving to maintain texture.
