5 min · 34 g protein · 497 cals / serving
Autumn in a jar: oats soaked overnight with pumpkin purée, Greek yogurt, maple and warm pumpkin pie spice until thick and custardy, topped with a spoon of vanilla yogurt and a few toasted pecans. Tastes like the filling of the pie, eaten cold with a spoon.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats, old-fashioned
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp canned pumpkin, pure pumpkin purée, not pie filling
- 1/3 cup + 2 tbsp skim milk
- 3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 1/2 tsp maple syrup
- 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tiny pinch salt
In the morning
- 2 tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt
- 3 small halves pecans, toasted and chopped
Steps
- Stir the pumpkin, maple syrup, spice, vanilla and salt together in a jar until smooth, then stir in the yogurt, milk, oats and chia. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.
- In the morning, stir, add a splash of milk if it is very thick, and top with the vanilla yogurt and the toasted pecans.
Good to know
No pumpkin pie spice?
Use 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground ginger and a pinch each of nutmeg and cloves.
Leftover pumpkin from the can?
It freezes well in tablespoons in an ice-cube tray; drop two cubes into the jar the night before and they thaw while the oats soak.
Warm instead?
Microwave the jar (lid off) for 1–1 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway, and add the toppings after.
