Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend (natural)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (natural gelling agent)
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Optional Toppings and Variations
- Spoonful of almond or peanut butter
- Fresh apple slices, dried cranberries, or raisins
- Chopped nuts or toasted seeds
- Dairy-free chocolate chips
- Hemp seeds or ground flaxseed
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: Place rolled oats, pumpkin spice blend (natural), chia seeds (natural gelling agent), and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl or jar to evenly distribute the spices and natural gelling agent.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in plant-based milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural). Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and thick.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and chia seeds to thicken the oats.
- Stir and serve: In the morning, stir the oats to refresh the texture. Add desired toppings such as nuts, fruit, or a sprinkle of extra pumpkin spice before enjoying.
Notes
- Use freshly ground spices for more vibrant flavors.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup (natural) to achieve preferred sweetness.
- If the oats are too thick, add a splash more plant-based milk to loosen the texture.
- Prepare individual servings in mason jars for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts.
- Add crunchy toppings like nuts or granola just before serving to maintain texture.
