This is the absolute perfect, healthy, easy fall breakfast. Lightly sweet with a hint of spice all made in 5 minutes!
You all know how much I adore overnight oats. I eat them every single day. Seriously without fail, every day. I usually let them sit overnight, but if by chance I forget to make them (I usually make 4 or 5 at a time), I have been known to eat it right after making it. Shrug. I told you I was obsessed.
I am always looking for a quick, healthy breakfast on the go (because most mornings I am on the go) and these overnight oats are always the answer. Is it weird that I actually look forward to eating them every day? Don’t care. I love them. Oh and it’s a total added bonus that this is packed with protein, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and crazy delicious.

I love to add the pepitas (pumpkin seeds) right before I eat. They add a great crunchy texture and lots of magnesium, zinc and omega-3-fatty acids. You could always add my Coconut Maple Roasted Pumpkin Seeds to add some more sweetness! Man, those are my favorite.
I must sound like a broken record, but if you haven’t tried overnight oats yet, you seriously need to. If the cold oats don’t intrigue you, simply warm them up for a little bit. But please, please try them (yes, I am begging!)
Check out some of my other overnight oats recipes: Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chunk Overnight Oats, Apple Pie Overnight Oats and good old faithful No Cook Overnight Oats. I love them all equally. 🙂
I’d definitely be excited to eat this for breakfast!
I love pumpkin anything! These look really good.
These overnight oats sound like a great way to spice up my usual oatmeal routine!
ooooohh….this looks great and sounds even better!!
I love to wake up to breakfast especially when it tastes like pumpkin pie. I really love the crunch from the pumpkin seeds.
I have never had overnight oats!! This really looks delicious though – might need to finally try them!
I would love to wake up to this!
I admit – I’ve never tried any overnight oats recipes…I have to change that!
I have got to make these overnight oats…this is something perfect just for me!
I really need to get w/ it w/ the overnight oats. This one looks like a good one to start w/!
I’ve been telling myself for a while that I need to try overnight oats in this style, but still haven’t. What the heck is wrong with me? These sound fantastic…they’ll have to be my first batch!

Having breakfast ready when you wake up is SOOOOO nice!
I am loving these oats! I am going back to work and overnight oats are a lifesaver for getting my breakfast in!
this sounds perfect. I always make my girls homemade oatmeal in the mornings. This would be a yummy flavor change that I should really try out. Love every ingredient you used!
I need to try overnight oats asap. I think that would help me get on the breakfast train. These look outstanding!
I cannot wait to try this. YUM.
I’ve never tried overnight oats, but this pumpkin spice beauty is changing my mind! They look delicious and I don’t eat enough oats. Changing that now!
I haven’t hopped on the Overnight Oats bandwagon yet but this just might do it for me. Love it!
Oh yum! I especially love the pepitas on top 🙂
Well, I think I know what tomorrow’s breakfast is going to be… These look great!
I am in love with overnight oats! and still have pumpkin puree from a recent recipe. Should make this tomorrow
This recipe sounds great. I want to try it today. If I make the full recipe, does it keep for several days or is it best to eat it the first day?
Hi Jeanine! Yes, absolutely it will keep for several days. I make them for the week and keep them in my refrigerator to make life easier 🙂 I hope you like it!
Love me some pumpkin! I had just enough left in the freezer (I kept not being able to get through it all before it got fuzzy) to make this stuff. I even got some pepitas to throw on top, and I’m glad I did. Unfortunately, these didn’t turn out so great for me. I’m starting to grow increasingly unhappy with my protein powder, RAW. I used vanilla here, but it seems like every time I use the stuff there’s this dusty, almost-grainy texture and taste. I had to double the maple syrup, and even then the sweetness was very subtle. It all turned out quite dense, which I don’t mind terribly, and the seeds added some much-needed texture. I’m definitely going to have to revisit this once I get a different protein powder.
Thank you for the recipes. It taste AWESOME!
My first try on this recipe today. I didn’t use protein powder and almond milk, and it’s still taste great; as I substituted with Manuka Honey and Flaxseed to boost the flavour. I will make this delicious overnight oats for my friends very soon…
