2 cups gluten-free oats Shop
1.5 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
0.5 cup pumpkin puree Shop
2 tbsp maple syrup or honey Shop
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice Shop
0.5 tsp vanilla extract Shop
0.25 tsp salt
optional chopped nuts or seeds for topping Shop

Instructions

1 In a large bowl or individual jars, combine the gluten-free oats, milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir everything together thoroughly until well incorporated and no dry pockets of oats remain.
2 Once all ingredients are evenly mixed, divide the mixture among four jars or containers with lids. Ensure the mixture is smooth and creamy, with the pumpkin puree fully blended into the liquid and oats.
3 Secure the lids tightly on the jars or containers. Place them in the refrigerator and allow the oats to soak and thicken for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight. This chilling period allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften to a perfect, spoonable consistency.
4 Before serving, give the overnight oats a good stir. If the mixture appears too thick, you can add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency. The oats should be creamy and smooth, with a rich pumpkin aroma.
5 Serve the pumpkin spice overnight oats chilled, topped with optional chopped nuts or seeds for added texture. Enjoy this wholesome and flavorful breakfast that's ready to eat straight from the fridge.

Tips & Notes

Use old-fashioned oats labeled gluten-free, since oats are usually grown and processed alongside gluten grains. They soften to a creamy, spoonable texture overnight.
Whisk the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, spice, vanilla and salt together before stirring in the oats, so the pumpkin disperses evenly with no dense streaks. Choose pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract labeled gluten-free.
Add the chopped nuts or seeds right before eating so they stay crunchy, and choose ones labeled gluten-free, since nuts and seeds are often packed on shared lines. Toasted pecans or pumpkin seeds suit the pumpkin spice flavor.
