Pumpkin Overnight Oats are the perfect way to embrace the flavors of fall while starting your day with a healthy, filling breakfast. With the warmth of pumpkin, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and the creamy texture of oats, this dish combines all the comforting flavors of pumpkin pie into a convenient, no-cook breakfast. It’s an easy-to-make meal that you can prepare the night before, making it ideal for busy mornings when you need something nutritious and satisfying.
The beauty of Pumpkin Overnight Oats is in their simplicity. By combining rolled oats with milk (or a milk alternative), pumpkin puree, and a touch of sweetener, you create a hearty base that soaks overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the oats to soften to a perfect, creamy consistency. A sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of vanilla extract add warmth and depth, giving the oats that signature fall flavor.
One of the best things about overnight oats is how customizable they are. You can easily adjust the sweetness by adding honey, maple syrup, or stevia, depending on your preference. For extra texture, top the oats with nuts like walnuts or pecans, or add a handful of granola for a bit of crunch. You can also throw in some chia seeds, flaxseeds, or protein powder to boost the nutritional value. The possibilities are endless, making it a versatile breakfast that can be tailored to your taste.
Pumpkin Overnight Oats are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. Oats are a great source of fiber, helping to keep you full throughout the morning, while pumpkin provides a healthy dose of vitamins A and C. The added spices are rich in antioxidants, and by using your favorite plant-based milk, you can easily make this breakfast dairy-free.
Whether you enjoy them straight from the jar, topped with fresh fruit, or warmed up on a chilly morning, Pumpkin Overnight Oats are the perfect way to start your day in a cozy, wholesome way.

Where do they sell pumpkin pie spice?? I never seen it in my life. What can I use instead?
I dunno where to buy it, but cinnamon is good too. Just try that instead, not a big deal!
You can find pumpkin pie spice at most grocery stores during fall, it’s usually near the baking aisle. If you can’t find it, you could mix cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to make a substitute. Hope this helps!
These are sooo good! I added some walnuts on top and wow! 5 stars!
I’m glad you loved it! Walnuts sound like a great addition! I might try that next time. 😊
Honestly, I don’t think this is that great. I tried it and it was kinda bland. Maybe I’m missing somethin??
Super easy to make and perfect for my busy mornings. Definitely a keeper!
I dunno, they were kinda bland. I thought there would be more flavor? Not my favorite.
I actually loved these! Maybe you could add more spices or a pinch of salt? It really helps enhance the flavor.
I tried this recipe and it was too sweet for my taste. Maybe less syrup next time?
Is pumpkin pie spice the same as pumpkin spice? I got confused.
YUM! I used almond milk and added walnuts on top. Best breakfast ever!
Just ok. I guess if you like pumpkin stuff, it’s alright. I prefer my oats plain tho.
I totally get it! Pumpkin isn’t for everyone, but it’s such a cozy fall flavor. I love it in my oats! You should try adding some cinnamon instead if you want to spice it up.
I made it with almond milk instead and it turned out perfectly! Really creamy! Can’t wait for breakfast. 4 stars.
Is it really creamy though? Tried with oat milk and it was kinda watery for me. 🤔
Sounds delicious! Almond milk is a great choice. I love pumpkin oats! 😋
This is health food?? It’s got a ton of sugar. No thanks.
I see your point, but the sugar in maple syrup is natural. It’s not the same as processed sugar!
Overnight oats just sound weird. Doesn’t the milk get all mushy? I don’t trust this.
Not really my thing. The pumpkin flavor was too strong for me. I guess I’m just not a fan of pumpkin.
That’s totally understandable! Pumpkin isn’t for everyone. Have you tried adding more fruits instead?
Is pumpkin puree the same as pumpkin pie filling? I’m confused. Help!
I forgot to put it in the fridge overnight and had to eat them right now! Not good soggy 😩.
Oh no! That’s a bummer. The texture really is different when they sit overnight like they’re supposed to. Maybe try again with some fresh oats? 🤔
Soggy? How do you forget that? Just make it fresh! 😅
This is super easy and delicious! My kids loved it, especially with some bananas on top!
I’m glad to hear your kids loved it! I never thought of adding bananas, that sounds yummy!
Sounds good but why pumpkin in oats? I’m not sure about that combo. I think I’ll stick to regular oats, thanks.
These overnight oats r amazing! I added some walnuts and bananas on top, delicious!
Very good! But I wish I didn’t have to wait overnight. Can I eat it sooner lol?
These are sooo good! I love pumpkin everything in fall. Will definitely make again.
I totally agree! Pumpkin spice everything is a fall must! 🍂✨
