Description

Ingredients
For the Oats:
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- ½ cup brewed coffee (or sub for more non-dairy milk)
- ½ cup pumpkin purée
- ¼ cup unsweetened non-dairy yogurt
- 2-4 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups old-fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
For the Topping:
- ¾ cup unsweetened non-dairy yogurt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- Cinnamon
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.
