- 1 small skillet
Ingredients
Overnight Oat Base:
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup canned 100% pure pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt plus extra for topping
- 1 3/4 cups organic soy milk or milk of choice

- 2 tbsp pepitas pumpkin seeds
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a small skillet over medium heat, toss chopped pecans, pepitas, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and cinnamon. Toast for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and slightly caramelized. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, soy milk, maple syrup, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- Stir in rolled oats until well combined.

- Top each jar with a dollop of Greek yogurt and divide the toasted pecan crunch evenly on top.
- Cover with lids and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- How to Add Extra Creaminess: Overnight oats can sometimes soak up all the liquid and turn a bit too thick. If you prefer a lighter, more spoonable consistency, simply stir in an extra 1 to 2 tablespoons of your favorite milk right before diving in!
- Cozy Warm-Up Option: While these jars are incredible straight from the fridge on a busy morning, you can also microwave them for 45 to 60 seconds to transform them into a steaming, comforting bowl of warm autumn oatmeal.
- Pantry Star Ingredients: For the absolute best flavor and texture, we love using organic thick cut rolled oats as our hearty base, vanilla bean powder (if you prefer no alcohol in your vanilla) for rich depth, and premium organic pecans and pumpkin seeds for that irresistible maple-toasted crunch!
- Make-Ahead Magic: Prep a batch of 4 or 8 mason jars on Sunday afternoon, and your weekday morning breakfasts are completely sorted through Thursday with zero morning stress.
