This September I've been starting my days off with a wonderful routine.

I wake up early, an inevitable result of years of bread baking and child-raising, and start my day with 30 minutes of yoga.

Once I wrap up yoga I take a quick shower and then sit down to enjoy my new favorite Golden Chai Latte and breakfast which is either my breakfast tofu & kale bowl or overnight oats.

Because life is full and busy (in the best ways possible), I try and keep several servings of overnight oats in the refrigerator. And ever since last week when I kicked off pumpkin season, I've been a huge fan of these Pumpkin Overnight Oats. Creamy, spicy, and filled with the flavor of the season, they have become an essential part of my morning routine.

Vegan Pumpkin Overnight Oats

Recommended Ingredients & Equipment

These oats are the perfect breakfast. They are creamy, sweet, hearty, and made with ingredients you likely already have on hand. Not only are they delicious, but they can also be made in just 5 minutes in 3 super easy steps making them the perfect breakfast for these long and stressful days ahead.

Ingredients & Substitutions

  • Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats –I recommend extra-thick old fashioned oats. You want oats that will keep their shape overnight so that you have a full-bodied texture. Old fashioned oats will also work, but they aren’t preferred. If you are gluten-free, make sure to look for a gluten-free thick cut.
  • Non-Dairy Milk – I recommend a mixture of light coconut milk and almond milk for flavor and texture but any non-dairy milk will do.
  • Pumpkin Puree - Make sure to get pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Maple Syrup – For a sweetener, I typically use maple syrup. Maple syrup adds a complex flavor without overly sweetening the oats (like some unrefined sweeteners can do). You could also use agave nectar, coconut sugar, or monk fruit.
  • Mixins – For texture, I add chia seeds which are considered a superfood for being high in antioxidants and fiber as well as providing energy boosters and natural mood enhancers. You can also add cacao nibs, hemp hearts, or your favorite protein powder. Or you can omit superfood add-ins altogether.
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Salt
  • Spices - You will need cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves.
  • Pecans (optional)

Recommended Equipment

You don’t need much when it comes to overnight oats. You simply need some 6 or 8-ounce jars, a mixing bowl, and a few kitchen utensils. (<<affiliate links)

Check out the full list of my recommended kitchen tools and gadgets.


How to Make Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

Step One – Combine the Ingredients

Combine oats, milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, spices, and maple syrup in a large bowl. Stir together until well combined.

Step Two – Divide and Refrigerate

Divide the oats into four overnight oat jars. Tightly cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until the oats have set up.

When ready to eat, top with the desired topping and serve.

Serving and Storing

Let your oats set up at least 4 hours before serving. They are best left to sit overnight. Serve them with chopped pecans.

Store the oats in four separate serving sizes to be enjoyed throughout the week. Overnight oats should be eating within 4 days.


Frequently Asked Questions

How should I store overnight oats?

Overnight oats should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When making this recipe, I use 8oz Mason Jars with tight-fitting lids.

Overnight oats should be eaten within 4 days of making them.

Can I use Steel Cut Oats?

Yes! You can swap in steel-cut oats for old fashioned oats. To do that, you’ll want to double the liquid in this recipe.

    I was hoping to send these with my son to school, can I sub soy milk or just use all coconut milk? They school is but free so I can’t use almond milk.

    If using quick oats instead of rolled oats, should I make any adjustments to the amount of liquid or time in the fridge?

      Yes, but I've never tried them with quick oats so I don't know the exact amount. I would try just a bit less liquid and see how it goes.

    Oh my goodness!! I think this is going to be my new breakfast staple! I leftist the cloves (didn't have any) and subbed walnuts for the pecans but those are just minor. I also used boxed coconut milk and it turned out perfectly fine. Can't wait to experiment with other flavor combinations! Thanks for the recipe! <3

    Do you think that steel cut oats or hulless oats could be substituted

    • Sarah says

      October 23, 2017 at 10:24 am

      Yes, steel cut oats should work but you'll want to add a bit more liquid. Probably a 2:1 liquid to oats ratio.
