Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk of choice (e.g., Fairlife 2%)
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- 1–2 tbsp pure maple syrup (adjust to desired sweetness)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Toppings (Optional)
- Chopped pecans
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium glass jar or container, add the milk, rolled oats, pumpkin puree, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined, ensuring the protein powder and maple syrup are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors, resulting in a creamy and thick consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: After refrigeration, give the oats a gentle stir. Top with chopped pecans and/or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy your protein-packed pumpkin breakfast.
Notes
- Adjust maple syrup quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
- Use any milk of choice such as almond, soy, or regular dairy milk as per dietary preference.
- To make it vegan, use plant-based protein powder and dairy-free milk and whipped cream alternatives.
- Can be prepared ahead for up to 3 days stored in the refrigerator.
- For extra texture, stir in some pumpkin seeds or nuts before serving.
