Pumpkin Overnight Oats Recipe
Moment of honesty: I’m obsessed with pumpkin. I’m one of those people who goes PUMPKIN EVERYTHING crazy when October comes around. Just take a look at my Pumpkin Pancakes, Roasted Pumpkin Salad, and Creamy Pumpkin Pasta recipes! It’s truly my favorite.
So when it comes to making quick and healthy breakfasts for my family, these Pumpkin Overnight Oats are my go-to! Here’s what I’ve been loving about them:

- Mix & Store Overnight – This method could not be easier. Mix them in Overnight Oats Jars and store them overnight or for up to 3-5 days!
- Gluten-Free – These oats are naturally gluten-free, but can easily be made vegan and dairy-free, too.
- Fluffy, Sweet, Delicious – I can’t get over how yummy they are. It’s like having pumpkin pie for breakfast!
Whether you’re into all the pumpkin things or not, there’s something to be said about the delicious flavors and creamy texture of these Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats. These healthy oats are such a great way to start the day!

How to Make Pumpkin Overnight Oats
I love making these Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats in my favorite Overnight Oats Jars or mason jars. They only take about 5 minutes to put together and are perfect for busy weekdays! Here’s how to make Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats:
*The recipe has recently been updated since the making of this video to swap out the stevia for maple syrup. It’s so yummy!
- Combine the oats, protein powder, pumpkin spice, pumpkin puree, milk, and syrup, then mix.
- Divide into jars.
- Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil, then slowly add in the yogurt for the optional topping.
- Smooth it over each jar or add toppings of choice, add lids, and store in the refrigerator overnight.
- Enjoy them in the morning!
TIP: Feel free to adjust the amount of milk to taste. More milk will make a thinner, creamier texture. Less milk will thicken the oats!
Pumpkin Overnight Oats Recipe Variations
Banana Pumpkin Oats: Add half a mashed banana to the mix for a little extra sweetness and a creamy texture. Bananas pair perfectly with pumpkin spice for an extra flavor boost!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oats: Stir in a handful of mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs before refrigerating for a rich, chocolatey surprise in every bite. My kids love this version!
Coconut Pumpkin Oats: Swap the almond milk for coconut milk and top with shredded coconut for a tropical twist! It’s creamy, dreamy, and perfect for anyone who loves coconut flavors.
Pumpkin Nut Butter Oats: Drizzle your favorite nut butter, like almond or peanut butter, over the top before serving. This adds a delicious, protein-packed layer of goodness to your oats.

I love overnight oats, and I love pumpkin pie flavored anything, but what I really love is that you sweetened this with Stevia. With diabetics in our house, we are always looking for sweet breakfasts with a lower glycemic impact. This definitely fits the bill. Thanks.
Christine McMichael replied:
Me too, Patti! Aw, so glad that this recipe works for you and your family! Enjoy!

Haha I soooo wish that I could be a morning person! That’s funny. Enjoy!
Joann says:
why the vanilla protein powder, does it add flavor?
Christine McMichael replied:
I use it for the added protein content. It also does add sweetness and thickens the oats. Feel free to adjust as necessary! 🙂
