Pumpkin spice overnight oats are the perfect breakfast on-to-go and filled with protein to help keep you full in between meals.

Pumpkin Spice Overnight OatsThe usual morning rush to get the kids to school sometimes leaves us running out the door with a quick breakfast in hand. A sit down breakfast can be a rare occurrence some weeks, especially with the kids in two different schools. I try to keep healthy options readily available for the kids in case they can’t sit down for a nutritious and protein packed meal. One of our favorite quick and easy breakfast meal is overnight oats. My daughter and I could eat oatmeal every single morning for the rest of our lives. She loves a warm bowl of oatmeal with a splash of milk and cinnamon. Since we’re often pressed for time I routinely make overnight oats in the fridge, ready to be eaten in the morning. This pumpkin spice overnight oats recipe is one of my favorites during the fall.

Pumpkin Overnight Oats RecipeIn case you haven’t tried overnight oats they’re a combination of old fashioned oats, milk, and greek yogurt. You can add just about anything to them to your liking. Add in spices, chia seeds, nuts, and of course fruit. Overnight oats are packed with protein from the milk, oats, greek yogurt, and chia seeds. Having a nutrient filled meal is a great way to start your day. Growing up my mother was always on the go between work, caring for three kids, and extra circular activities. She ingrained the importance of a good breakfast into me and I’ve passed that onto my children. On days when I skip breakfast I feel sluggish and am more likely to binge during lunch. It’s never a great way to start my day. She also always suggested I have a glass of milk before walking out the door. As an adult I’d rather make protein smoothies and overnight oats with my glass of milk.

Please note I prefer my oatmeal and overnight oats with minimal sweetness. I suggest starting with the least amount of each sweetening ingredient and increasing to your liking. For example I use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of brown sugar but you may prefer two. Same goes for the pumpkin spice (increase in 1/4-1/2 teaspoon incriments), vanilla, and if you’d really like a decadent treat add a splash of maple syrup. You can also decrease the milk and/or greek yogurt to 1/3 cup for a thicker texture.

So, this might be a silly question, but do you store this overnight in the fridge or on your counter? Also, do you eat it cold in the morning or warm it up?

Sorry I didn’t clarify, they go in the refrigerator overnight. You eat the oats cold in the morning. I haven’t tried warming them up since I add the greek yogurt to them.

Oh my god!!! Thank you SO much for this recipe! It’s a real life saver as I don’t have much time in the morning before I have to go to University. But this, oh god. It’s so easy and delicious and saves SO much time because I can eat it on the go, or wherever I want and it’s all ready in the morning!
Thank you so so much Crystal!

(I’m chopping an apple in small pieces, add the oatmeal, youghurt and milk, a small dash of sugar and some cinnamon! I LOVE it!)

OK this might be stupid but do you cook the oats first?

Nope! The oats will soak in the milk and will be soft in the morning!

I leave mine plain (just the oats, milk and yogurt) to put in the fridge, then i slice a banana into it in the morning when I’m ready to eat it! It’s YUM!
