Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (or honey for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for added creaminess)

Chopped pecans or walnuts, for topping

Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, carefully blend together the rolled oats and almond milk until they are well incorporated. Then, add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. If you’re using Greek yogurt for a creamier consistency, fold it in at this stage. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients form a cohesive mixture.

    Portion into Jars: Evenly distribute the oatmeal mixture into clean glass jars or airtight containers with lids. If desired, you can create delicious layers by adding some of the mixture into the jar, followed by a sprinkle of spice or nuts, then repeating until the jars are filled.

      Refrigerate: Close the jars tightly with their lids and refrigerate them. It’s best to allow the oats to soak overnight for optimal flavor absorption, but a minimum of 4-5 hours will also work.

        Serve: The following morning, give the oats a good stir to mix in any settled ingredients. If you find the mixture to be too thick, you can add a splash of additional milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with a generous handful of chopped pecans or walnuts for a delightful crunch, and add a dollop of whipped cream if you wish for an extra indulgent treat.

          Enjoy: Grab a jar for a convenient, nutritious breakfast or snack that captures the cozy flavors of pumpkin pie while providing nourishment for your day!
