  1. Combine the base

    In a bowl, stir together the oats, pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and salt until evenly combined and no dry oat pockets remain.

  2. Check the texture

    The mixture should look thick but pourable. Canned pumpkin varies — splash in a little extra milk if it's very stiff.

  3. Jar and chill

    Divide between two jars or airtight containers, seal, and refrigerate at least 4 hours — overnight is ideal. The oats soften and the mixture thickens into a pudding.

  4. Stir in the morning

    Give the oats a good stir. Loosen with a splash of milk if too thick, and thin the second jar the same way on its day.

  5. Serve

    Eat cold, or microwave 30–45 seconds if you prefer it warm. Top with chopped nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of nut butter just before eating.

Questions, answered

How long do pumpkin spice overnight oats last in the fridge?
They stay fresh for up to four days when stored in a sealed container.
Can I make these oats with regular dairy milk?
Yes, you can use any milk you prefer; the recipe works with dairy or plant-based milks.
Are these oats gluten-free?
They are gluten-free only if you use certified gluten-free rolled oats; otherwise regular oats contain gluten.
Do I need to cook the oats?
No cooking is required; the oats soften by absorbing liquid while they chill overnight.
Can I freeze pumpkin spice overnight oats?
Freezing is not recommended because the texture can become grainy after thawing; it's best to keep them refrigerated and consume within four days.
Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned?
Yes — roast and puree it first. Canned puree is thicker and more consistent; don't use pumpkin pie filling (it has added sugar and spices).
