Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats preferably old-fashioned
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg ground
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • Spoon
  • Jar or airtight container

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed through the oats.
  2. Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and milk to the dry ingredients. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and slightly thickened.
  3. Partner the mixture into your jar or container, ensuring it's evenly spread out and layered neatly.
  4. Secure the lid and place the jar in the refrigerator. Let it soak and chill overnight or at least 4 hours until the oats are tender and the flavors meld.
  5. The next morning, open the jar and give the oats a gentle stir to incorporate the creamy pumpkin mixture fully.
  6. Scoop the oats into bowls or serve directly from the jar, topped with your favorite fall-inspired toppings like nuts, seeds, or additional cinnamon.

Notes

Adjust sweetness and spice levels to taste. For added texture, sprinkle with toasted pecans or a dollop of yogurt.
