Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree canned or homemade
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey adjust sweetness to taste
  • 1/2 cup milk dairy or non-dairy

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Jar or container with lid

Method
 

  1. Combine the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, and sweetener in a mixing bowl, stirring until well blended and the mixture is uniformly colored and aromatic.
  2. Pour the milk into the bowl and stir again, ensuring all oats are coated and the mixture is evenly moist.
  3. Transfer the oatmeal mixture into a jar or container with a lid, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
  4. Seal the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight, allowing the oats to soak up the flavors and become tender.
  5. In the morning, give the oats a gentle stir to redistribute the flavors and check the consistency; it should be creamy and thick.
  6. Scoop the chilled pumpkin spice oats into a bowl or serve directly from the jar, topped with your favorite add-ins like nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of more maple syrup if desired.

Notes

For added texture, sprinkle with chopped nuts or granola just before serving. Adjust sweetness and spice level to your preference.
