Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk of choice (e.g., Fairlife 2%)
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- 1–2 tbsp pure maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Optional Toppings
- Chopped pecans
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium glass jar or container, add the milk, oats, pumpkin puree, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is uniform.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to soak and thicken for at least 6 hours or overnight to achieve the ideal creamy consistency and allow flavors to meld.
- Serve and Garnish: Once ready, remove from the fridge, stir gently if needed, and garnish with chopped pecans and/or a dollop of whipped cream for added texture and flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy!
