Why You’ll Love These Blended Vegan Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats 🧡

Ingredients You’ll Need 🛒
- Old-fashioned (rolled) oats: A nutritional powerhouse and the base of the recipe. Don’t use steel-cut oats; they will not give you the right consistency.
- Unsweetened plant-based milk: Almond, oat, soy, or cashew milk all work well in this recipe.
- Unsweetened pumpkin puree: Canned works great! Just make sure to use 100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin is a superfood that can help maintain healthy blood pressure, protect your vision, and boost immunity.
- Maple syrup: For sweetness and a touch of fall flavor. Maple syrup has more antioxidants and a lower glycemic index than regular sugar.
- Ground flaxseed: Helps thicken the overnight oats while adding healthy omega-3s.
- Chia seeds: For a creamy, pudding-like texture. Chia seeds add protein, antioxidants, and fiber.
- Pumpkin pie spice: A cozy blend of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and/or cloves.
- Ground cinnamon: While cinnamon is typically included in pumpkin pie spice, I like to add a little more to enhance the aroma and flavor.
- Vanilla extract: For aroma and sweetness.
How to Make Vegan Pumpkin Overnight Oats (Step by Step) 🥄
Step 1: Add the oats, plant-based milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, flaxseed, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to a blender.
Step 2: Pulse until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness or spices as needed.
Step 3: Transfer the mixture to a large bowl or 3 small storage containers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Step 4: When ready to serve, top off individual portions with your favorite toppings, such as crushed graham crackers, nondairy yogurt, coconut whipped cream, and/or crushed pecans. Serve chilled.
Substitutions and Variations 🔄
- Milk: Almond, oat, soy, and cashew milk all work well. Soy or oat milk yield the creamiest consistency.
- Sweetener: Substitute agave syrup, coconut sugar, or 1 to 2 pitted Medjool dates.
- Toppings: Feel free to experiment with what you have on hand! Chopped almonds or walnuts, cacao nibs, dark chocolate chips, or dried cranberries all work well.

Pro Tip for the Best Blended Overnight Oats ✨
Hold off on adding crunchy toppings (e.g., nuts and graham crackers) until just before serving so they stay crisp.
