Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats (Gluten and Dairy Free)
These Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats are reminiscent of that familiar fresh-out-of-the-oven pumpkin pie flavor, and they’re packed with fiber and healthy carbs to keep you full for hours!
Overnight oats are one of my favorite easy breakfasts to make. I most often find myself jolting off the couch before I head up to bed because an overnight oat recipe popped into my head. I love that I can just mix everything together in a bowl, get to sleep, and wake up the next morning to a tasty, filling breakfast waiting for me in the fridge!
This cozy, fall-flavored oat recipe is packed with old-fashioned oats to keep you full for hours so you can tackle your day without your tummy grumbling during your morning meeting. The healthy carbohydrates also become more digestible once soaked in liquid overnight, so your body is actually able to absorb more of their nutrients! This intake of healthy carbs in the morning provides you with lasting energy and an improved mood. Who wouldn’t want to start the day like that?
This overnight oat recipe also contains chia seeds, which not only help to thicken the oats and add a creamy texture, but they add multiple health benefits as well!
Chia seeds are great for all of these reasons and more:
- improve digestive health
- contain Omega-3’s
- contain high quality protein
- contain several essential minerals and antioxidants
And – as if you didn’t already have enough reason to try out this recipe – if you’re a breastfeeding mama, oats are an excellent breakfast for increasing both the nutritional content and the quantity of your milk supply!
