Tips for Success
To really nail those pumpkin pie overnight oats, here are a few tips from my kitchen to yours! First, use rolled oats instead of quick oats for the best texture—trust me, they hold up beautifully overnight. If you want a thicker consistency, up the oats or decrease the almond milk a bit. Don’t forget to let your mixture chill for at least 6 hours; overnight is ideal! And if you’re a pumpkin spice lover like me, feel free to add a little extra spice for a bolder flavor. Lastly, experiment with toppings—cinnamon, maple syrup drizzle, or even a dollop of whipped cream can take it to the next level!
Storage & Reheating Instructions
Storing your pumpkin pie overnight oats is super easy! Just keep them in an airtight container in the fridge, and they’ll stay fresh for up to 4 days. This makes them perfect for meal prep! If you find you have leftovers, don’t worry—they’re still delicious the next day. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply give them a good stir. If they’ve thickened up a bit too much, add a splash of almond milk or your favorite milk to loosen them up. No need to reheat unless you prefer them warm—just enjoy them cold for a refreshing breakfast!
