Scale
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 3 cups milk
- 3 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- whipped cream and cinnamon sugar for topping
Instructions

- Refrigerate overnight.
- Mix in the morning and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
Notes
- Single batch: Prep is the same, here are ingredient amounts: 1/2 cup oats, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 3/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/3 cup pumpkin puree, 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Storage: Keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in airtight containers or mason jars. These don’t freeze well due to the texture changes, but they’re perfect for weekly meal prep.
- Ingredient notes: Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Libby’s is a reliable brand. Old-fashioned oats work best; avoid quick oats, which get too mushy. Greek yogurt adds protein and tanginess, but you can substitute it with more milk if preferred. Pure maple syrup gives it cozy, fall flavor.
- Prep ahead: Make individual servings in mason jars or meal prep containers. Mix all ingredients except toppings, which should be added just before eating to maintain texture and freshness.
- Helpful tools: Mason jars or meal prep containers, measuring cups, whisk or spoon for mixing
- Serve with: I love topping them with a bit of whipped cream and sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, but fresh berries, chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, granola, coconut flakes, or an almond butter drizzle are also all delicious.
