Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

Vegan Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are one of the latest trends. For good reason too. They make it easy to have a healthy breakfast on the go! The combinations of what you can do are endless. i saw a recipe for Skinny Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats one of my favorite blogs, MeganQuint.com, that looked so good that I had to veganize it!

What you will need to make Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats:

  • 1/2 cup quick cooking or steel cut oats
  • 1 cup vegan yogurt, I used coconut milk yogurt
  • 3/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/4-1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Pumpkin pie spice to taste

How to make Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats:

  • Just like Megan, I layered mine into the jar.
  • The first layer was 1/4 cup oats, 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/4 cup almond milk, 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds, and half the pumpkin puree, added in that order.
  • The second layer was 1/4 cup oats, 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds, and the rest of the pumpkin puree, added in that order.
  • Shake slightly to make sure the almond milk is reaching the oats at the very bottom of the jar!
  • Put in the refrigerator overnight and enjoy in the morning!
  • Leave in the jar, or move to a bowl, and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice. I took Megan’s advice and added some sliced banana. Delicious!

When I first decided to try the recipe I figured it would be easy – just swap the non-vegan ingredients for vegan ones. However I learned that equal amounts of coconut yogurt and non-vegan yogurt just don’t seem to react the same in this recipe. When I used the same measurements as Megan did, most of the oats were still completely dry the next day. On my second attempt I had success and some amazing overnight oats to enjoy! Vegan MoFo 2013

  1. Thank you! I’ve been looking for a recipe for overnight oats with steel-cut oats and non-dairy yogurt/milk! And if that wasn’t good enough, pumpkin spice flavoured, helloooo fall! I’m trying this ASAP…. Thanks again!

  2. I found I don’t like it much with yogurt (plus, I like to just eat my coconut milk yogurt separately) so I just add more almond milk and generally a half scoop of protein powder to give it a protein boost! (plus, mashed bananas and other fruits)
