Pie for breakfast? With these simple Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats, a touch of pumpkin spice mixed with hearty oats and real pumpkin will make fall mornings extra cozy! 5 minutes of prep and breakfast is ready when you wake up! Perfect for busy mornings.
Confession. I do NOT like Pumpkin Spice Lattes.
I know, I know. It’s true. But I DO love pumpkin pie everything! And this Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats recipe is essentially on repeat from the second fall weather arrives.
Real pumpkin, hearty oatmeal, warm spices, and crunchy pecans all come together in this 5 minute recipe that is literally ready and waiting for you when you wake up in the morning. Doesn’t get any better!
Love overnight oatmeal? Try these as well: Triple Chocolate Overnight Oats, Coconut Cream Pie Overnight Oats, Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats or Banana Bread Overnight Oats. They are the best!
Why You Will Love This Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats Recipe:
- Only 5 minutes to prep. The quickest breakfast prep around aside from pouring a bowl of cereal. Take a few minutes at night to whip them up and then it’s ready in the morning for you!
- Simple ingredients. A handful of pantry staples is pretty much all you need, but the recipe does not taste simple or boring by any means!
- Great for meal prep. You can make several of these all at once and then literally have your morning meals ready for the week. If you are a big meal prepper on Sundays, add these to the list for sure!
- Cozy fall flavor! Pumpkin season never disappoints! Adding some fall flavor to your breakfast with the combo of the pumpkin, warm spices, maple syrup and more make the perfect breakfast for a crisp cool morning.
Recipe Ingredients:
- oats: rolled oats, also called old fashioned oats are best in overnight oatmeal recipes. For gluten free, just make sure the package says “certified gluten free.” Some people like steel cut oats for their overnight oats but these are not recommended.
- milk: use your favorite milk, regular or dairy free. We love vanilla almond milk or whole milk because we always have them on hand. But oat milk, soy milk, skim milk, and more will still be great.
- pumpkin: if using a can, make sure you get pumpkin purée versus pumpkin pie filling. The pumpkin pie filling is already spiced and sweetened so that will be a bit too much on top of the other ingredients.
- chia seeds: these are optional. I like to add them for a bit more nutrition but if you don’t have them, don’t worry.
- sweetener: real maple syrup is my sweetener of choice. You could use a different sweetener if preferred. Brown sugar is great! You can wait until serving to sweeten if preferred and add to taste.
- fall spices: The recipe calls for pumpkin pie spice, but I like to use a combination of cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice more often. I find that pre-made pumpkin pie spices never have enough cinnamon so I tend to add a touch of cinnamon on top of the pumpkin spice.
- vanilla: a touch of vanilla extract to round out the flavor
- pecans: optional, but I love the added crunch and nuttiness
Recipe Tips
- You can eat overnight oatmeal hot or cold. I love eating my pumpkin overnight oats warmed up in the morning. Some people prefer them cold. Either is fine!
- Adjust to meet your own dietary needs. You can make these gluten free by using gluten free rolled oats. You can use your favorite plant-based milk free milk to make these as well, I love using unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Use what you have or what you love!
- Add more milk before serving in the morning if needed. If the oatmeal is too thick when you grab it from the fridge in the morning, add an extra splash of milk before serving.
Storage:
You do not have to make these pumpkin overnight oats in any sort of special mason jars or anything. As long as it is an airtight container, you are good to go.
You can prepare and store these oats for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. You may need to add an extra splash of milk before eating, but other than that, you are set for a perfect fall breakfast ready when you are!
Possible Add-Ins:
We love these just the way they are but there are optional ingredients to toss in for even more flavor and fun!
- a spoonful of vanilla Greek yogurt
- toasted pumpkin seeds
- a scoop of vanilla protein powder
- white chocolate chips
- sliced bananas (wait until serving)
- shredded coconut

I never imagined that overnight oats could taste like pumpkin pie, but this recipe convinced me! I’ve now made this a few times. A wonderful recipe to keep in my autumn breakfast rotation! Thank you!
I am so so happy for pumpkin season! Glad this is one of your faves too!
Can this be prepared in advance except for milk and frozen pull out the night before and add milk.
I have never tried doing so. I actually wonder if freezing them with the milk and then cooking them from there may be better. Now I need to try and test this out!
Made this yesterday and loved it! 🙂 My partner liked it also. Great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree from other recipes. Looking forward to making these oats again!
Yay!!! So glad to hear it!! They have been on repeat for us these days! Thank you ??
I love my oats warm, but these ingredients sound great and I could totally just microwave in the AM!
