Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats – Creamy No-Cook Fall Breakfast
Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats are creamy, no-cook oats made with rolled oats, almond milk, pumpkin puree, chia seeds, maple syrup, and warm pumpkin pie spice. Mix everything in a jar, chill overnight, and wake up to an easy fall-inspired breakfast.
This cozy jar tastes like pumpkin pie in breakfast form, but it takes only a few minutes to prep. The oats soften in the fridge while the chia seeds help thicken everything into a creamy, spoonable texture.
It is easy to customize with extra protein, crunchy toppings, or a little extra maple syrup on top. Keep it simple for busy mornings, or dress it up with pecans, pepitas, coconut whipped cream, and a sprinkle of spice.

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Old-fashioned rolled oats: Rolled oats give the best creamy but chewy texture. Quick oats will soften more and make the mixture mushier, while steel-cut oats need a different liquid ratio and longer soaking time.
- Almond milk: Unsweetened almond milk keeps the flavor light. You can use oat milk, dairy milk, soy milk, or any milk you enjoy.
- Pumpkin puree: Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling already has sugar and spices added.
- Chia seeds: These help thicken the oats and add texture. If you skip them, reduce the almond milk slightly or expect a looser texture.
- Maple syrup: Maple syrup pairs beautifully with pumpkin. Add a little more after chilling if you like sweeter oats.
- Pumpkin pie spice: This gives the oats that classic pumpkin pie flavor. If you do not have it, use a mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and a tiny pinch of cloves.
- Protein powder or Greek yogurt: Protein powder makes the oats thicker and sweeter depending on the brand. Greek yogurt adds creaminess and a tangy flavor.
How to Make Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
- Add the rolled oats and almond milk to a jar or small bowl.
- Add the pumpkin puree, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, sea salt, and protein powder or Greek yogurt if using.
- Stir well until everything is fully combined and no dry pockets of oats or protein powder remain.
- Cover the jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
- Before serving, stir the oats again. If they are too thick, add a splash of almond milk to loosen them.
- Add your favorite toppings, such as pecans, pepitas, hemp seeds, nut butter, coconut whipped cream, dried cranberries, or granola.
- Enjoy cold straight from the fridge, or warm gently in the microwave if you prefer a cozy breakfast.
Expert Tips
- Stir very well before chilling so the chia seeds and pumpkin puree distribute evenly.
- Use rolled oats for the best overnight oats texture.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight gives a thicker, creamier result.
- Add a splash of almond milk in the morning if the oats become too thick.
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Add toppings right before serving so nuts, seeds, and granola stay crunchy.
- For extra protein, use Greek yogurt or a protein powder that you already enjoy the flavor of.
- Taste after chilling and adjust sweetness with a small drizzle of maple syrup if needed.
Storage & Freezing
- Fridge: Store pumpkin pie overnight oats in a sealed jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Stir before eating and add a splash of almond milk if needed.
- Freezer: Overnight oats can be frozen, but the texture may soften after thawing. Freeze in a freezer-safe jar with space at the top for expansion for up to 1 month.
- Thawing: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Stir well before serving and add fresh toppings after thawing.
Variations
- High-Protein Pumpkin Oats: Add 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder or 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt.
