About the Recipe
I'm thrilled to kick off a series of overnight oats recipes, with the exciting option to make them high in protein! To launch this series with a bang, I'm sharing a pumpkin pie inspired overnight oats recipe. Bursting with fiber and loaded with vitamin A thanks to the pumpkin puree, this is a scrumptious breakfast treat you won't want to miss!
Get ready for an exciting series where I'll be sharing an amazing overnight oat recipe every week! You'll have the option to supercharge it with protein powder, along with tips on adjusting the liquid for the perfect consistency. This is ideal for athletes, college students, or anyone with a hectic morning schedule. It's a fantastic way to meal prep and enjoy a quick, healthy breakfast that’s far from boring! You can easily make this recipe dairy-free by swapping regular milk with your favorite dairy-free alternatives. And if you're okay with dairy, just stick to the usual ingredients for an extra protein boost. I can't wait for you to love this as much as I do!
