Overnight Pumpkin Oats

I really like oatmeal.  Cold, hot, baked, plain, flavored...I like it all.  During the summer, I enjoyed overnight oats frequently with blueberries. Now that it is Fall..I thought I would give pumpkin a try.  I love pumpkin spiced oatmeal (cooked version), but haven't tried it cold.  It is super simple, healthy, and delicious...b/c even thought it's Fall...the temps are still holding on to summer. We've had ONE cool morning!

Overnight Pumpkin Oats

1/4 steel cut oats
1/2 cup milk *I like unsweetened almond/coconut milk
1/4-1/2 cup pureed pumpkin
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (or to taste)

Add oats and milk in a jar or covered container overnight in the fridge.  In the morning, mix in pumpkin and spice. Eat. That's it! Super simple.

Happy Friday :-)

  1. So that's all you do, is put it in the fridge and eat it cold?

    Could you do the overnight oats and then just heat them up?

  2. @Jenn - haha, that was my first reaction too! Yes, they are traditionally eaten cold. A lot of people add yogurt too. But yes, you couldn't definitely heat them up in the morning. I haven't tried that, but have heard of others doing it. Let me know if you try them out!
