Pumpkin Spice Latte Overnight Oats

A recipe for pumpkin spice latte overnight oats – an easy, one-step breakfast version of your favorite Fall drink made with pumpkin, oats + coffee or espresso requiring just 2 minutes of prep!

I LOVE hearing that you guys tried and enjoyed a recipe (honestly, it makes my day more than you know). As with any recipe developer, and especially one who likes to use healthy ingredients, there will be some people who don’t like what you post.

Thankfully I’ve been doing this for enough years that the constructive criticism doesn’t get to me! I know not every recipe is going to be everyone’s cup of tea but I do know that every recipe I put on the blog is one that I (and C!) genuinely love.

So do these pumpkin spice latte overnight oats taste exactly like a Starbucks version of oatmeal?! No, but I’d argue they’re better because a) they actually have pumpkin in them and b) this breakfast isn’t made up of 70% sugar.

Here’s What You Need:

Rolled oats – make sure they aren’t the quick-cooking version or steel-cut
Brewed coffee or espresso
Unsweetened almond milk
Pumpkin puree – make sure the ingredient list is just “pureed pumpkin” and you didn’t accidentally grab a can of pumpkin pie filling.
Pumpkin spice – I used my DIY pumpkin spice recipe but you can buy a pre-made mix too!
Chia seeds – you can also use ground flax seeds if you don’t have chia seeds
Maple syrup – or other liquid sweetener

What is Pumpkin Spice?

Other than being the trending item on Instagram for the past few years, pumpkin spice is actually a mixture of spices that pair really well with fall flavors and produce. Since it’s gotten so popular over the years, you can actually buy pre-made pumpkin spice but it’s also super easy to make at home! Here’s a simple recipe that makes 1 tsp of pumpkin spice:

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
pinch of allspice
pinch of cloves
