Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats preferably old-fashioned
  • 0.5 cup pumpkin puree unsweetened, canned or homemade
  • 0.75 cups milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 tsp cinnamon ground
  • 0.5 tsp nutmeg ground
  • 0.25 tsp cloves ground
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds toasted

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Combine the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and honey in a mixing bowl, stirring until well integrated and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Transfer the mixture into a jar or container with a lid, then cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours to allow the oats to soak and absorb the flavors.
  3. Preheat your oven and toast the pumpkin seeds until they are golden and crisp, smelling nutty—this takes about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Once the oats are chilled, stir the mixture to ensure a uniform creamy texture and check the consistency, adding a splash more milk if needed.
  5. Spoon the overnight oats into bowls, then sprinkle generously with toasted pumpkin seeds and a dash of extra cinnamon or nutmeg for aroma and visual appeal.
  6. Enjoy immediately for a creamy, layered treat that evokes cozy fall mornings.
