Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned, not instant)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of salt
- ⅓ cup (85g) pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (30g) pecans (halves or chopped)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (for glazing pecans)
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl or mason jar, stir together rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt.
- Add wet ingredients: Mix in pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine until creamy and slightly loose.
- Seal and refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to soften the oats and meld flavors.
- Prepare maple pecans: Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Drizzle with maple syrup, toss to coat, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until glossy and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Serve: Stir the oats in the morning, adding a splash of milk if too thick. Top with maple pecans and enjoy.
Notes
Adjust milk quantity to achieve preferred consistency. Use fresh spices for best flavor. Toast pecans carefully to avoid burning. Maple pecans can be stored up to 3 days in an airtight container. Stir oats in the morning before serving. For vegan version, use plant-based milk and pure maple syrup. Can substitute pumpkin puree with mashed banana or sweet potato puree.
