Let's talk texture and flavor.
Take your first bite and you'll get everything you love about pumpkin pie, only lighter and more refreshing. The combination of fashioned rolled oats, creamy vanilla Greek yogurt, and a hint of maple syrup makes every spoonful velvety and just sweet enough. Warm pumpkin spice, real pumpkin puree, and a pinch of salt give it that authentic pie flavor, while chia seeds add a little crunch and keep you feeling full. A topping of coconut whipped cream or almond crumble turns this into a breakfast treat, almost like pie overnight.
What you'll need.

Here's what you're going to need to make pumpkin pie overnight oats:
- Oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture, or try steel-cut oats if you like an extra bite.
- Unsweetened almond milk: vanilla almond milk works perfectly, but oat or dairy milk are great options too.
- Pumpkin purée: canned or homemade pumpkin puree both work-just be sure you're using pure pumpkin, not pie filling.
- Unsweetened Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt adds creaminess and a boost of protein. Use vanilla Greek yogurt for a touch of extra flavor.
- Vanilla protein powder: protein powder makes these overnight oats especially filling and perfect for a healthy breakfast.
- Maple syrup: maple syrup is a natural sweetener that pairs perfectly with pumpkin and pie spice.
- Chia seeds: thicken the oats and add a little texture, plus they keep you full longer.
- Vanilla extract: brings everything together with warm, cozy flavor.
- Pumpkin pie spice: gives you all those classic fall flavors in one quick step.
- Salt: just a little salt brings out the sweetness and spice in every bite.
- Optional maple vanilla yogurt: unsweetened Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Optional almond crumble topping: slivered or chopped almonds, almond meal or oat flour, cinnamon, and maple syrup.

Kori's tips.
- Make sure to mix well so the chia seeds don't clump up-this helps everything thicken evenly.
- For extra creamy oats, swap some almond milk for full-fat canned coconut milk.
- Short on time? Chill for at least 4 hours if you can't wait overnight.
- Adjust the sweetness-add a little extra maple syrup if you like it sweeter.
FAQ's
Store your pumpkin pie overnight oats in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 4 days.
I don't recommend freezing overnight oatmeal, as it can change the texture, but you can prep multiple jars for the week and keep them cold.
Yes, you can make pumpkin pie overnight oats using steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats! Steel-cut oats will give your overnight oatmeal a chewier, heartier texture. To get the best results, increase the liquid slightly (use about ¾ cup almond milk per ½ cup steel-cut oats) and allow the oats to soak overnight-or even up to 24 hours-for the creamiest texture. If you're looking for a classic creamy texture, old-fashioned oats or rolled oats are still the best option for your pumpkin overnight oats.

Kori's Tips
Make sure your oats are well mixed so the chia seeds don’t clump. For creamier oats, use full-fat canned coconut milk for part of the liquid. If you’re short on time, let the oats chill at least 4 hours instead of overnight. VARIATIONS:
Swap the almond milk for oat or dairy milk. If you’re not into almonds, try a walnut or pecan crumble instead for a cozy twist. SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
Enjoy these oats straight from the fridge or let them sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes for a softer texture. Top with sliced banana, fresh berries, or a drizzle of nut butter. For a dessert-style breakfast, add the whipped coconut cream and almond crumble right before serving.
