If adding pumpkin puree to some of your favorite breakfast staples is your thing, you’ll love it in these overnight oats!

Overnight Pumpkin Oats
Oats are my favorite staple for all sorts of breakfasts like baked oatmeal, smoothies, and overnight oats. By adding pumpkin pureé, cinnamon, and pecans to the classic overnight oats, I get the perfect fall-inspired breakfast.
It’s nutritious, delicious, and a portable version of the fall flavors we enjoy during the weekend when I serve pumpkin French toast and pumpkin pancakes. This recipe calls for only ½ cup of pumpkin pureé, so it’s perfect when you need something to make with canned pumpkin leftovers.
Ingredients
Old-fashioned oats (rolled oats) give overnight oats the best texture. You’ll also need pumpkin pureé, maple syrup for natural sweetness, regular or non-dairy milk, and three classic fall spices: ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves.

Have you ever made this recipe with steel cut oats? Do you adjust the liquid?
Laura Fuentes says
Hi Suzi, steel cut oats -unless they’re specifically labeled “quick cooking” can’t be used for overnight oats they will not break down and soften. You can cook the steel cut oats and add the other ingredients and turn it into these.
