Get your Fall flavor fix with these Pumpkin Overnight Oats! They’re sweet, creamy, and easy to meal prep for busy mornings!

It’s almost that time of year: Time for pumpkin EVERYTHING.

I’m hopelessly obsessed with pumpkin recipes. In fact, I try to keep a few cans in my pantry year-round so I can enjoy that fall flavor all the time.

For me, pumpkin is best in breakfasts and snacks. The best part is, they both happen to be easy to meal prep and eat from all week. If you struggle to find breakfast on busy mornings, you NEED meal prep for sure.

That’s where overnight oats come in! Not only are they an easy breakfast, they’re a great way to get in plenty of nutrients. And they’re super customizable!

Benefits of overnight oats

Oats, in general, are a super healthy breakfast option. They’re heart-healthy thanks to their whole grains, and they’re high in fiber so you stay full longer.

They’re also a great meal prep option, because you can make a big batch of these at once and eat from them all week. Saving time and stress is WONDERFUL.

Never had overnight oats? This post explains the differences between cooked oats and overnight oatmeal!

What oats work best?

I use rolled oats, or old-fashioned oats, in pretty much all of my recipes. They’re a bit firmer than quick oats and have a better consistency. You can use quick oats, but the texture might be a little mushy.

Steel-cut oats aren’t recommended for this specific recipe. You CAN use steel cut oats in overnight oats, but it requires more liquid and more time to soften.

  • Rolled oats

Additions/Substitutions

  • Milk: Use your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk: Almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, oat milk, soy milk, etc.
  • Maple syrup: Use honey or another favorite sweetener instead

  • Chia seeds: You can omit this or use ground flaxseed instead.

I like Mason jars because they store pretty well and they just look pretty. But any kind of airtight container will work!

These overnight oats will keep for 5-7 days, so they’re perfect for meal prep.
