Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (122g) 100% pure pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 tbsp (22.5ml) pure maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tbsp (12g) black chia seeds
- 1 tsp (2g) pumpkin pie spice
- 1 pinch (0.5g) sea salt
Instructions:
- Combine the pumpkin puree, almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla in your jar first. Note: Mixing the wet ingredients first ensures the pumpkin is fully emulsified before the oats are added.
- Stir in the pumpkin pie spice and the sea salt. Stir until the mixture is a uniform orange color.
- Add the chia seeds to the wet mixture. Note: Chia seeds tend to clump, so give them a good 30 second stir immediately.
- Pour in the rolled oats. Stir gently until every flake is submerged.
- Tighten the lid on your jar. This prevents any fridge odors from leaching into your oats.
- Let the jar sit on the counter for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, give it one more quick stir. Note: This breaks up any chia seeds that have settled at the bottom.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
- In the morning, open the jar and give it a stir. The mixture should be thick and hold its shape on a spoon.
- Add your favorite toppings just before eating to maintain their texture.
