Are you searching for a hassle-free & nourishing breakfast option this fall?  If so, I have got you covered with these fall-themed overnight oats! 

 

I personally love making overnight oats because of how convenient they are for my busy mornings. You can just toss all the ingredients in a jar ahead of time and have it ready-to go for the morning. I usually choose the same base ingredients but change up my topping choices based on my mood, the season, or whatever ingredients I have on hand.  For these fall-themed overnight oats, I chose ingredients that remind me of this cozy and colorful season like hand-picked apples, 100% pumpkin puree, pecans, and cinnamon. Not only are these overnight oats scrumptious, they also come with a nutritional punch.  The mix of ingredients provide a dose of fiber, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates that can be satiating and fuel you up through the morning.

Base Ingredients: ​

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats

• 1/2 cup milk of choice( I used low-fat dairy milk)

• 1 tbsp. chia seeds

• 2 tbsp. yogurt (I used low-fat plain yogurt)

• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

• Drizzle of preferred sweetener like honey, maple syrup(optional- I used monk fruit sweetener)

• 4 cinnamon sticks for decoration, optional

​

Apple Pecan Overnight Oats Toppings: 

• 1 small apple or 1/2 of a medium apple, chopped

• 1 tbsp. unsweetened nut or seed butter( ex: peanut butter, sunflower seed butter, almond butter)

• 1 tbsp. pecans 

• Dust of ground cinnamon

​

Pumpkin Granola Overnight Oats Toppings:

• 1 or 2 tbsps. 100% pumpkin puree

• 2 heaping tbsps. of granola( I used Lakanto's cinnamon almond granola)

• Sprinkle of semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

• Dust of ground cinnamon

​

Instructions:

1. Layer all ingredients into a glass jar.  I usually do it in this order: oats, milk, vanilla, yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener(optional), and lastly the preferred topping mix. 

2. Mix all ingredients in the jar with a spoon and seal the glass jar with a lid. Let the oats refrigerate overnight.

3. If you want the oats to be a bit more creamier, add some more milk in the morning. You can also add half your toppings at night and half in the morning as well for more texture. Enjoy!

​

Recipe Notes:

• For dairy-free overnight oats, you can use dairy free milk/yogurt options like almond, cashew, soy, coconut varieties.

• If you have a gluten allergy, selecting certified gluten-free oats would be a better option.

• You can store extra servings in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.
