Pumpkin Overnight Oats
Creamy, cozy, and packed with pumpkin spice flavor, these pumpkin overnight oats are the easiest fall breakfast. They come together in just a few minutes, then the fridge does all the work overnight. They're lightly sweetened with maple syrup and have just the right amount of pumpkin and warm spices.

Lauren's Note
- For sweeter oats: Add another ½–1 tablespoon of maple syrup to taste.
- For thicker oats: Chia seeds will give the oats a thicker, more pudding-like texture.
- For thinner oats: Simply add an extra splash of milk in the morning.
- For a more fall-spiced version: I like to replace half of the milk with chai concentrate.
Frequently asked questions
They're best enjoyed within 3–4 days when stored covered in the refrigerator.
You can, but the texture will be softer and less chewy. Old-fashioned rolled oats give the best texture.
Absolutely. Whole milk, 2%, or any other milk you like will work.
