TIPS FOR PUMPKIN SPICE OVERNIGHT OATS

• Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for a natural taste and controlled sweetness.

• Add more milk in the morning for a thinner consistency.

• Enhance the oats with toppings like chopped nuts, chia seeds, or extra pumpkin spice for added texture and flavour.

VARIATIONS

• Protein Boost: Add a scoop of protein powder to the mixture for a protein-packed breakfast.

• Nutty Twist: Stir in almond or peanut butter for a rich, nutty flavour.

• Gluten-Free Option: Use certified gluten-free oats if you follow a gluten-free diet.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Fridge: Store the prepared overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

• Freezing: Overnight oats do not freeze well, so it’s best to make one you plan to eat within a few days.
