This creamy, protein packed pumpkin pie overnight oats is as good as eating pumpkin pie filling for breakfast! Breakfast really can’t get any easier than these fall inspired oats that are perfect for weekday meal prep.
What You Need to Make This
- Rolled Oats : the best kind of oats for this recipe are rolled oats.
- Pumpkin Puree : canned pumpkin puree is going to really elevate the pumpkin flavor and creaminess in this recipe. Make sure you’re using real pumpkin puree and not the pumpkin pie mix!
- Fall spices : pumpkin spice is an absolute must for this recipe. If you don’t happen to have pumpkin spice on hand, you can make homemade pumpkin spice using fall spices you probably already have at home.
- Protein Powder : adding protein powder will make this breakfast a lot more filling so you don’t feel those late morning hunger pangs.
- Maple Syrup : it only makes sense that this fall overnight oats combo is sweetened with he ultimate fall sweetener – maple syrup. The maple complements the pumpkin spice perfectly as well.
- Milk : this will soften up those oats as they sit overnight!
Recipe Variations
- Swap the Protein Powder for Greek Yogurt : whether you just don’t have protein powder around or prefer a less process alternative, you can replace the protein powder for an equal amount of vanilla Greek Yogurt. Try to use a sweetened greek yogurt because plain greek yogurt might dilute the flavor.
- Add more fiber : add in 1-2 teaspoons of chia seeds or ground flaxmeal to boost the fiber in this quick breakfast.
- Get Rid of the Pumpkin Spice : I understand that not everyone loves pumpkin spice as much as I do. If you’re a pumpkin spice hater, feel free to swap it for some ground cinnamon instead.
- Make it vegan : swap out the cow’s milk for almond, coconut, cashew, soy, or any other vegan milk.

I’m so happy to hear that! I love these too – tastes like pumpkin pie filling out of a cup.
I’ve made this 3 days straight and taken it to work – 10/10 each time! I usually don’t like cold oats but this recipe is TOO good. Thank you for this lovely creation!
