- Combine Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl or a mason jar, mix together the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.
- Chill:
- Cover the bowl or seal the jar with a lid and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soak and absorb the flavors.
- Serve:
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Add Toppings:
- Top with your choice of optional toppings such as chopped nuts, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, or a dollop of whipped cream or extra Greek yogurt. Drizzle with additional maple syrup or honey if desired.
Tips for Success
- Oats: Use rolled oats for the best texture. Quick oats may become too mushy, and steel-cut oats may need more soaking time.
- Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness to your preference by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
- Consistency: If you prefer a creamier texture, add a bit more yogurt or milk.
- Storage: These overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making them a great option for meal prep.
