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.
