Pumpkin Banana Overnight Oats

These Pumpkin Banana Overnight Oats are a simple and delicious way to enjoy a cozy fall breakfast. Hints of cinnamon and pumpkin spice in hearty pumpkin filled oats. A perfect breakfast!

These Pumpkin Banana Overnight Oats are a combination of my personal favorite, my Banana Bread Overnight Oats  and everyone's fall favorite, Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oatmeal.

I had been adding a little bit of pumpkin to my banana bread oats and really liked it. Then I decided to go with more of a pumpkin spice to really pull this one together.

These Pumpkin Banana Overnight Oats are:

• A perfect fall cozy breakfast.
• Prepped in just 5 minutes.
• A combo of banana bread and pumpkin pie flavors--WOW.
• Perfect to meal prep for the entire week.
• A hearty, filling breakfast.

Ingredients and Substitutions:

• rolled oats: regular or gluten free will work well for these pumpkin banana oats. Some people love steel cut oats in their overnight oatmeal, I find them to be way too chewy.
• milk: whatever your favorite milk is fine. I go between whole and vanilla almond milk, we typically have both around the house.
• banana: ripe bananas work best, when they are at least slightly browning is ideal.
• pumpkin puree: canned is what I use, but homemade pumpkin puree is great as well if you have it!
• flax: I prefer ground flax. Totally optional--it adds a bit of fiber and protein. Chia seeds are another great option as well.
• spices: a combination of cinnamon and pumpkin spice--I am not a huge fan of pumpkin spice on its own and like to balance it with cinnamon. You can use just pumpkin spice if desired.
• sweetener: maple syrup is our preference. Any sweetener that you love is great. The banana will add some natural sweetness so sometimes I add my syrup in the morning before eating so I can add to taste.
• pecans: nuts are optional so if you have an allergy feel free to omit. You can also opt for chopped walnuts if preferred.

How to make this recipe:

There really is nothing to making these oats. Mash the banana and then mix everything else along with it. Chill for at least 4 hours, overnight is great as well.

Slice up some banana and add some whipped cream if desired for serving. You can eat these warmed up or chilled.

Expert tips and Notes:

• You can prep several servings of these pumpkin banana overnight oats at one time and then eat off of them for the week. They will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 4-5 days at least. If I know I am making them for the week, I sometimes wait to add the banana until just before serving.
• Other add ins you may enjoy: chia seeds, shredded coconut, shredded carrot (I love these carrot cake oats!), golden raisins--plenty of options you will love!
