These Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats bring cozy pumpkin spice flavor to a breakfast you can prep in five minutes. Stir, refrigerate overnight, and wake up to creamy oats ready to enjoy cold or warm.
I love a warm bowl of oatmeal in the fall, but I also love having breakfast handled before a busy morning starts. This recipe gives you those pumpkin pie flavors with very little effort. A little whipped cream on top? Absolutely.
At a Glance

- Use familiar ingredients and one mixing bowl.
- Enjoy pumpkin pie flavor without turning on the oven.
- Customize the toppings to suit your appetite.
What You’ll Need
- Rolled oats: These soften overnight while keeping some texture. Steel-cut oats need a different preparation.
- Pumpkin puree: Use plain canned pumpkin, rather than sweetened pumpkin pie filling.
- Greek yogurt: Adds extra creaminess, flavor, and protein. Choose your favorite brand.
- Milk: Use your usual milk or a plant-based alternative. The flavor and protein content will vary.
- Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. Adjust to your taste; the recipe card lists the original amount.
- Pumpkin pie spice and vanilla: Bring those familiar fall flavors.
- Optional toppings: Whipped cream, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or Greek yogurt.
How to Make Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
- Whisk the pumpkin, Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, spice, and vanilla together.
- Stir in the rolled oats.
- Divide between two jars or covered containers and refrigerate overnight.
- Stir before eating. Add a splash of milk if you prefer a thinner texture.
The full ingredient amounts and instructions are in the recipe card below.
Build a More Satisfying Breakfast
Keep the oats and think about what you can add around them. Greek yogurt on the side, eggs, or a topping of nuts or seeds can help you build a breakfast that fits your preferences and appetite.

Easy Swaps and Prep Tips
- Dairy-free: Choose a plant-based milk and yogurt you like. Unsweetened soy milk and yogurt are one option if you want an alternative that still provides protein.
- Gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free oats if you need to avoid gluten.
- More texture: Add nuts or seeds just before serving.
- Warm breakfast: Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl, remove any lid, and warm in short intervals, stirring between them.
- Prep ahead: Keep covered and refrigerated. Make a small batch for the next couple of mornings and follow the storage directions on your milk.
