Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (natural)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Combine Your Ingredients: Grab a clean jar or bowl and add rolled oats, pumpkin puree, plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), pumpkin pie spice (natural), chia seeds, vanilla extract (natural), and a dash of the natural gelling agent. Stir everything well until fully incorporated and the mixture starts to thicken.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container tightly and place it in the fridge for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. This resting period allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and develop a luxuriously creamy texture.
- Give It a Good Stir: In the morning, give the oats a thorough stir to evenly distribute the flavors and the creamy consistency. If it feels too thick, add a splash of your preferred plant-based milk to loosen it up.
- Add Your Favorite Toppings: Top with your favorite nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup (natural). Fresh or dried fruit can also elevate your dish with delightful texture and taste.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for the best texture as they absorb liquid perfectly and soften without becoming mushy.
- Adjust the amount of plant-based milk to achieve creamier or thicker oats according to your preference.
- Use fresh pumpkin pie spice (natural) or freshly ground individual spices for more vibrant flavor.
- Do not skip the natural gelling agent as it provides a silky texture that holds together beautifully.
- Allow the mixture to rest overnight for optimal creaminess, although a minimum of 6 hours is sufficient if short on time.
