Ingredients
Scale
Oats Base
- 1/4 cup organic quick oats*
- 1/2 cup unsweetened milk of choice (I like oat milk)
Flavorings
- 2 tbsp pumpkin butter (use less if store-bought)
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- Pinch cinnamon
- Pinch pumpkin pie spice
Toppings
- 1/4 sliced banana (freeze the rest for smoothies)
- Pinch cinnamon
- Pinch pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tbsp raw hulled pecans, pepitas, walnuts (or any nut)
- Whipped cream or dairy free cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar, combine the quick oats and 1/2 cup of your chosen unsweetened milk. Stir them together until well mixed.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the pumpkin butter, chia seeds, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice to the oat mixture. Make sure everything is evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar, shake gently to mix, and refrigerate it overnight to allow the oats to soak up the flavors and soften.
- Prepare to Serve: The next morning, remove the jar from the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes to take the chill off. Alternatively, microwave it for a few seconds if you prefer a warm breakfast.
- Add Toppings: Top the oats with sliced banana, an additional sprinkle of cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice, and your choice of nuts. Optionally add whipped cream or dairy-free cream for an indulgent finish. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
- You can adjust the amount of pumpkin butter to taste, especially if using store-bought which may be sweeter.
- Freezing extra bananas is an excellent way to have smoothie ingredients ready.
- Feel free to swap nuts for your favorite crunchy topping like granola or seeds.
