A cozy, protein-packed overnight oats recipe featuring pumpkin puree, warm spices, pecans, and maple syrup for a creamy, indulgent breakfast that’s easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats
  • ¼ cup (60g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut)
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup
  • ¼ cup (30g) chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup rolled oats and 1 teaspoon chia seeds.
  2. Stir in ¼ cup pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger, and a pinch of salt until evenly mixed.
  3. Add 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, ¾ cup milk of choice, 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional), and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Whisk or stir vigorously until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if too thick.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly into two 16 oz (475 ml) mason jars or airtight containers and seal tightly.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and oats to soften.
  6. Before serving, stir the oats well. Add a splash of milk if needed to loosen the texture. Top each serving with ¼ cup chopped pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats may become mushy. Vanilla protein powder blends best. Let oats soak at least 6 hours overnight. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or omit. Keep pecans and maple syrup separate until serving to maintain crunch. Microwave for 30-45 seconds to serve warm. Mixing protein powder with milk first helps avoid clumps.
