Can I skip the coffee?

Yes. Replace it with the same amount of non-dairy milk for a caffeine-free version.

Can I use store-bought pumpkin spice blend?

Yes. Replace the listed spices with 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice mix.

Can I make this without chia seeds?

Yes. You can either remove them and reduce the milk slightly since it won’t thicken as much, or add additional oats in their place.

Yes, it's naturally gluten-free, but be sure to use certified gluten-free oats if dealing with any allergies or sensitivities.

Can I use flavored yogurt?

Yes. Use unsweetened for control over sweetness, or vanilla for extra flavor.

Instructions

Add the non-dairy milk, coffee (if using), pumpkin purée, yogurt, maple syrup, and spices to a large bowl. Whisk until everything is well combined.
Add the oats and chia seeds and mix again until combined. Let sit for 10 minutes for the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken slightly.
Meanwhile, add the remaining yogurt and maple syrup to a separate small bowl and mix.
After 10 minutes, give the oat mixture another mix. If desired, transfer servings into individual jars or containers and top with a layer of the sweetened yogurt mixture and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Keep the yogurt topping separate if you are not dividing the mixture into separate containers and top when serving.
Cover and place in the fridge overnight. Enjoy!

Notes

Maple Syrup: If needed, any liquid sweetener of your choice can also be used in its place.
Storage: Keep sealed in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Heating: If you would prefer it heated, you can warm gently on the stove or microwave for 30–60 seconds, adding the yogurt mixture after serving or skipping it all together.
Freezing: You can freeze portions for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight, stir, and top with the yogurt mixture before eating.
