Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk of choice (Fairlife 2% milk recommended)
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- 1–2 tbsp pure maple syrup (adjust to sweetness preference)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Toppings (Optional)
- Chopped pecans
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium glass jar or container, add the milk, rolled oats, pumpkin puree, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Refrigerate: Seal the jar or cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- Serve: Before serving, give the oats a good stir. Top with chopped pecans and/or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Enjoy your hearty, protein-packed pumpkin oats!
Notes
- Use any milk of your choice, including dairy-free options like almond or oat milk.
- Adjust maple syrup amount according to sweetness preference.
- Protein powder flavor can be swapped but vanilla complements pumpkin best.
- Letting the oats soak overnight ensures a creamy texture and easy digestion.
- Chopped nuts add a nice crunch and extra nutrients but can be omitted for a nut-free version.
