Equipment

1 Glass Breakfast Jar

Ingredients

¼ cup Whole Oats Use Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
½ cup Pumpkin Puree Use pure pumpkin puree. Do not use pumpkin pie filling.
1 tablespoon Flax meal Use flax meal, not whole flax seeds.
2 tablespoon Water
1 tablespoon Maple syrup Use pure maple syrup
1½ tbsp Almond Butter At room temperature.
¾ tsp Cinnamon If you really like cinnamon (like me:), use 1 teaspoon of cinnamon instead of ¾ tsp.
⅛ teaspoon Nutmeg
2 pinch salt

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a 12-ounce jar (or larger) and mix well, until all ingredients are incorporated.
¼ cup Whole Oats, 1 tablespoon Flax meal, 2 tablespoon Water, 1 tablespoon Maple syrup, 1½ tablespoon Almond Butter, ¾ teaspoon Cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon Nutmeg, 2 pinch salt, ½ cup Pumpkin Puree
Place the lid on the jar to seal it and store in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (typically this would be overnight).
Enjoy it cold or warmed up the next morning.

Notes

Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

Use Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats. Do not use instant or steel cut oats.

Overnight oats store well in the refrigerator for several days.

Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon and/or nutmeg depending on your flavor preferences.

Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy cold or slightly warmed. Topping ideas include chia seeds, chopped walnuts, pecans, mini chocolate chips, a spoonful of whipped cream, granola, or dried fruit.

If you don't need a dairy-free recipe, you can use milk or plain yogurt instead of water.

For meal prep purposes, you can double or triple batch this recipe. Then, divide it into jars and store refrigerated for up to five days (unless the ingredients you use expire before then).

Recipe variation ideas: leave out the flax meal, use chia seeds instead of flax meal, add 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the mixture (this one is my favorite version).
