Why You’ll Love Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
Quick and Easy – It takes less than 15 minutes to prep and make these overnight oats! Refrigerate them for up to 3 hours or overnight and enjoy them for a healthy snack or breakfast.
Meal prep – Overnight oats are great for meal prep! They will keep for 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
Healthy – Overnight oats are a great addition to your breakfast or a healthy snack. Oats are satiating, meaning they’ll help you stay full and satisfied longer. These overnight oats are a nice balance of carbs and protein, along with a little fat and fiber.
Ingredients For Pumpkin Overnight Oats
- Rolled Oats – Also called old fashioned oats. Use gluten-free if needed.
- Pumpkin purée – Make sure it’s purée and not pie filling.
- Plain Greek yogurt – Greek yogurt helps make the overnight oats thick and creamy.
- Milk – Any type of milk works. I use unsweetened almond milk.
- Maple syrup – The sweetener for the oats. Honey could also be used.
- Vanilla extract – Enhances the pumpkin pie flavors.
- Vanilla protein powder – I use this vanilla whey protein powder.
- Chia seeds – Thickens the oats and gives them extra protein and fiber.
- Pumpkin pie spice and ground cinnamon – Classic spices for pumpkin pie.
- Pecans and graham crackers – Optional toppings for the overnight oats.
How to Make Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
This is an overview of the recipe with step-by-step photos. Full ingredients & instructions can be found in the recipe card below.
In a large bowl whisk together the pumpkin purée, Greek yogurt, protein powder, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, pinch of salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
When it’s combined, add in the oats and chia seeds. Stir everything together then divide it into two small bowls or jars.
Cover with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate until thick and creamy. Add your favorite toppings if desired.
Toppings for Pumpkin Overnight Oats
- Toasted pecans or walnuts.
- Whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs for the full pumpkin pie flavor.
- Almond butter or any nut butter of your choice. I use about a tablespoon, which makes the oats a little heartier with protein and fat.
- Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- Dried fruit such as, raisins or cranberries.
- Fresh fruit such as, diced apples or blueberries.
- Extra maple syrup and cinnamon.
- Granola
Do Overnight Oats Have to Set Overnight?
No. Overnight oats only need a few hours before they’ve softened and absorbed enough of the liquid to be ready to eat. This is great if you want them for an afternoon snack. Simply make them in the morning and they’ll be ready later that day.
How Long Will Overnight Oats Keep?
Overnight oats will last 4-5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The oats will get softer the longer they are in there, which is a good thing if you like yours extra creamy.
There may be some separation of liquid the longer they are in there, but give them a quick stir and they’ll be good as new. If you’re worried that they may have gone bad, smell them. They shouldn’t smell sour.
What can protein powder be replaced with?
If you don’t want to use protein powder, omit it and replace with and extra 1-2 tablespoons or to taste of maple syrup.

I hope regular 2% milk is ok instead of almond milk and I have no chia seeds so maybe add a little more oats? You had me a pumpkin oatmeal overnight!
Any type of milk can be used for this recipe. If you don’t have or don’t want to use chia seeds, you can just omit them or add an extra tablespoon of oats.
