I know that pumpkin is a popular fall flavor, but let’s be honest. You can eat pumpkin any time of the year. To me, pumpkin and breakfast go hand-in-hand, which is why I love this recipe.
The combination of pumpkin, maple, and vanilla is perfect. Add some whipped cream, cinnamon, and chopped pecans for the ultimate breakfast (or dessert).
If you don’t already know, I love overnight oats because they’re so easy to make, and they taste delicious. But it’s also very satiating, so you won’t have to worry about that mid-morning hunger.

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
Add Greek yogurt, milk, pumpkin, pumpkin spice, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to a jar. Stir everything around with a spoon before adding the oats. Then, stir once more and place the jar in the fridge.
It’s easier to stir the ingredients before adding the oats to mix the flavors. Plus, placing the oats on top before stirring can make the jar a little too crowded.
Allow the pumpkin pie overnight oats to sit in your refrigerator for at least 2 hours. But they will soften even more if you leave them in the fridge overnight (you can see where the name comes from).
Some of my favorite toppings for this recipe are whipped cream, Greek yogurt (for more protein), and chopped pecans. For thicker overnight oats, try using more oatmeal or less milk.
