My Pro Tips For Making This Recipe

Customize these pumpkin overnight oats by experimenting with toppings. Try sprinkling some pumpkin seeds, toasted pecans, chopped walnuts, or brown sugar for added sweetness. I personally love adding a touch of vanilla extract before refrigerating the oats to add a deeper flavor to 'em.
Any kind of milk will work to make these overnight oats. So, feel free to use your favorite kind. With that said, a lot of times I use Fairlife milk to add even more protein to the recipe.
To make meal prep even easier, I recommend portioning out the overnight oats in small mason jars before refrigerating them. Just make sure to seal each jar with a lid before sticking 'em in the fridge.
You can add some extra creaminess to the recipe by using plain greek yogurt or your choice of nut butter to the oats before letting them soak overnight.

Storing These Pumpkin Overnight Oats

In the fridge: These overnight pumpkin oats will last for up to 5 days in an airtight container. I recommend mason jars for quick and easy storage.

In the freezer: If you are making a larger batch and would like to store these oats for a longer period of time, use a freezer-safe container and freeze the oats. They'll stay good for up to 3 months stored like this.
