Ingredients
3/4 cup milk of choice
1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
2 tbsp pumpkin puree
2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
1–2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Chopped pecans or whipped cream for optional topping
Instructions
Gather a medium glass jar or airtight container.
Add the milk and maple syrup to the jar first to prevent protein powder clumping.
Add the oats, pumpkin puree, protein powder, chia seeds, and spices.
Stir the mixture vigorously until completely uniform and the pumpkin puree is fully incorporated.
Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
Remove the lid and garnish with optional pecans or whipped cream before serving.
Notes
Using Fairlife 2% milk is suggested for extra creaminess. The oats can be prepared up to 3 days in advance if stored in the refrigerator. Ensure the pumpkin puree is fully incorporated into the milk base to avoid texture issues.
