Vegan Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
Good morning everyone! I am back today with yet another overnight oats recipe. I have been on a roll lately with making overnight oats. They are just so quick and simple to create. Plus, you don’t have to cook overnight oats, which comes in clutch on busy mornings.
Today, I am sharing a pumpkin pie overnight oats recipe with you. This recipe might just be my newest overnight oats obsession, but it’s hard to choose a favorite flavor. They are all just so good.
While all of my overnight oats recipes have a similar base, each one has unique add-ins that completely transform the flavor profile. This pumpkin pie overnight oatmeal is sweet, creamy, and delicious.
Now, let’s go through a few quick logistics, as well as the list of ingredients you will need to make this recipe a smashing success!
How Do You Make Good Overnight Oats?
I honestly can’t stop making overnight oats because they truly do taste incredibly good. A common question is regarding how to make them taste good. The key to making good overnight oats is to add the right base ingredients to achieve a thick and creamy consistency. This includes quick oats, chia seeds, and more. Then, you use key add-ins like maple syrup for sweetness.
This pumpkin pie overnight oats recipe is packed with flavor, yet it is made with about ten simple ingredients. This goes to show that you can make really good overnight oats without complicated steps or fancy ingredients.
Now, let’s go ahead and dive into the list of ingredients that you will need to make this pumpkin pie overnight oatmeal.
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats – Ingredients
- Quick Oats – The quick oats serve as the main base for this recipe. They absorb all the flavors and transform into a thick, creamy consistency when soaked.
- Canned Pumpkin – The canned pumpkin is used in this recipe to add moistness, nutrients, color, and of course, that classic pumpkin flavor. When combined with the pumpkin pie spice, you end up with a jar of overnight oats that truly tastes like creamy pumpkin pie filling in a jar (in the best way possible).
- Powdered Peanut Butter – This will add a hint of peanut butter flavor as well as a little boost of protein. It also helps thicken up the overnight oats so that you get the perfect consistency. I love adding peanut flour to overnight oats, and it pairs especially well in this recipe.
- Unsweetened Applesauce – The applesauce adds moisture as well as natural sweetness to this overnight oats recipe.
- Chia Seeds – Chia seeds are one of my favorite superfoods. They are packed with fiber, protein, and they also tend to absorb the liquid they are placed in. They also achieve a smooth, gel-like consistency when soaked in nut milk. Essentially, they help everything bind together really nicely. The chia seeds are a key ingredient in all of my overnight oats recipes, so you definitely do not want to omit them from this one.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice – The pumpkin pie spice adds that classic pumpkin flavor to this recipe. While the canned pumpkin adds color and a little bit of pumpkin flavor to the oatmeal, the pumpkin pie spice really amplifies it. It is the perfect addition to this overnight oats recipe.
- Cinnamon – The cinnamon adds even more spice to your pumpkin pie overnight oats.
- Nut Milk – The nut milk is used to soak the oats in . It is the key liquid that we will use to achieve a nice and creamy texture. If you have only ever used water to make your oatmeal, you are definitely missing out. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk for this recipe, but you can use whatever nut milk you have on hand or enjoy most. I used a little less nut milk for this overnight oats recipe than I typically do. This is because the canned pumpkin and applesauce add moisture.
- Pure Maple Syrup – A little bit of pure maple syrup adds sweetness and flavor to the recipe. It is one of my absolute favorite sweeteners to use in baked goods as well as breakfast recipes such as this one. It is a bit pricy, but I personally think it is worth the cost.
