Easy and festive breakfast alert! Pumpkin Overnight Oats are ridiculously simple to make on Sunday night giving you a simple breakfast all week long.

Not only are they easy but they are also packed with good for you ingredients that will keep you full all morning.

Ingredients for Pumpkin Overnight Oats

Here’s what you’ll need for this easy breakfast:

  • Rolled oats: Make sure you use rolled oats, also known as old-fashioned oats. Quick oats will get too mushy.
  • Pumpkin puree: Make sure it’s just the puree and not the pumpkin pie mix.
  • Milk: Use your preferred milk, any of it will work.
  • Cinnamon: For all the warm fall flavors.
  • Instant cheesecake jello mix: This sweetens the oats and adds a slight creamy, cheesecake flavor.
  • Vanilla extract: Because it’s yummy and makes all sweets better.
  • Optional ingredients: If you have them on hand, toss in a handful of chia seeds for more health benefits. I also like to add wheat germ. It doesn’t add any flavor but gives a nice boost of iron. Chocolate chips (or cacao nibs) would also be delicious and add some great texture.

How to Make Overnight Pumpkin Oats

Start off by adding all your liquid ingredients to a large bowl and whisk until well combined. Now add in the dry ingredients and stir until they come together.

Portion out the mixture into 4 glass jars then seal with lids. Place in the refrigerator overnight and you’re good to go.

How to Serve

There are lots of ways to eat these pumpkin overnight oats. I like topping them with a hearty handful of toasted pecans or walnuts and another sprinkle of cinnamon.

A little dollop of whipped cream never hurt anyone either.

Warm or Cold?

You can serve these overnight oats either warm or cold. Just depends on your preference and amount of time you have in the morning.

I personally like my overnight oats heated up but they are great straight from the fridge too.

Storing Overnight Oats

These cutie little jars of oatmeal will be good for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Make sure to give them a stir when you grab them out of the fridge.

This hasn’t happened in my experience but if the oats dry out a bit, add another splash of milk to get them to the texture you prefer.
