These pumpkin pie overnight oats taste like dessert for breakfast! Creamy, cozy and made with real pumpkin, warm spices and oats for the perfect healthy fall breakfast.
I know overnight oats usually have their moment in summer but I can’t resist bringing them into fall when pumpkin season hits. These pumpkin pie overnight oats are creamy, cozy and taste just like dessert for breakfast. They’re perfect for those warm early fall mornings when you’re craving pumpkin spice but not quite ready for hot oats.
The mix of pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon gives these oats that irresistible fall flavor while almond milk keeps everything super creamy. If you love my pumpkin pie smoothie or apple pie overnight oats, you’ll be obsessed with this one too. It’s like pumpkin pie in a jar!

“I recently discovered overnight oats as a healthy breakfast and these. Are. AMAZING. They were super easy to make and did not take me more than ten minutes. plus they were completely delicious! I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes pumpkin!”
Why I Love Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
I’ve been making overnight oats for years but this pumpkin pie version always steals the spotlight when fall rolls around. It’s creamy, spiced just right and feels like a cozy treat even though it’s healthy enough for breakfast.
- Creamy and comforting – The pumpkin purée and spices make every bite rich and flavorful.
- Quick and easy – Just mix, refrigerate and grab in the morning.
- Perfect for meal prep – Make a few jars on Sunday and enjoy all week.
- Nutritious and filling – Packed with fiber and healthy carbs to keep you satisfied.
- Naturally sweetened – No refined sugar, just wholesome ingredients.
Pumpkin Overnight Oats Ingredients
- old fashioned rolled oats – rolled oats are the best for overnight oats. Instant/quick oats and steel cut oats don’t work the same because they don’t absorb liquid the same way rolled oats do. If you’re looking to use steel cut oats, try this pumpkin pie oatmeal instead.
- almond milk – I like using unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but any type of milk will work.
- canned pumpkin – either canned pumpkin or homemade pumpkin puree works. If you’re using store-bought, make sure you pick up canned pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie mix has added sugar!
- pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon – these are a must for the pumpkin pie flavor! You can make your own pumpkin pie spice mixture or buy a pre-made blend at the grocery store.
- maple syrup – pure maple syrup is the perfect natural sweetener to use because it’s liquid so it blends in nicely with the oat mixture and I personally love the flavor.
- chia seeds – these little seeds add a bit of fiber, protein and omega-3 fatty acids and they help absorb some of the liquid which gives the oats a thicker consistency.
- sea salt – the perfect flavor enhancer and brings out the nutty flavor of the oats.
- toppings – feel free to use your favorite toppings here! Some ideas: pecans, hemp seeds, pepitas, nut butter, coconut whip cream, dried cranberries or granola. This pumpkin granola would be delicious as a topping.
How to Make Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
This pumpkin overnight oat recipe couldn’t be easier. Everything comes together in just a few minutes and the fridge does all the work while you sleep.
Step 1: Add all ingredients (except toppings) to a jar or bowl and stir until combined. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least a few hours.
Step 2: When ready to eat, stir the oats, add a splash of milk if needed and top with your favorite toppings. I love pecans, coconut whip and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Tips for the Best Overnight Oats
- Use a wide-mouth jar or container so you have room to stir everything easily and add toppings in the morning.
- Taste before chilling. Give the mixture a quick taste and adjust sweetness or spice to your liking. Once it sets, those flavors deepen, so start where you want it.
- Don’t skip the salt. It might seem small but a pinch of sea salt makes the pumpkin flavor pop.
- Make a few jars at once. They keep well for several days and make weekday breakfasts so much easier.
Storing Overnight Oats
When stored in an airtight container in the fridge, these oats will last up to 5 days. They soften a bit as they sit, so I think they’re best on days 1–3, but still perfectly good on days 4 and 5.
Frequently Asked Questions
Short answer, yes! You can definitely warm up overnight oats, but the whole point of overnight oats is to eat them cold like muesli. If you’re looking for warm pumpkin flavored oatmeal recipes, I recommend my pumpkin oatmeal, pumpkin baked oatmeal or protein pumpkin oatmeal instead.
Great question! The Trader Joe’s pumpkin overnight oats are sweetened with date paste similar to my Mush overnight oats copycat recipe. I am working on a pumpkin version now but basically you just follow my copycat recipe, add pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice.
Yes, my secret to overnight oats more filling is to add protein! If you feel like you’re hungry shortly after having oatmeal, try adding protein. I like adding in a little protein powder or Greek yogurt to these pumpkin overnight oats as you’ll see in the recipe card.

Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup almond milk
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ cup canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
- ½ Tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- pinch of sea salt
- optional: ½ scoop protein powder or ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt for added protein
- toppings: pecans, hemp seeds, pepitas, nut butter, coconut whip cream, dried cranberries and granola
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl except toppings and stir together. If you're using Greek yogurt or protein powder, add that in now.
- Cover and place in the fridge overnight. If you’re in a rush you can shorten the soak time to 2-4 hours.
- The next morning (or when ready to eat), remove lid and give oats a big stir. If they seem too thick you can add a little more milk to loosen the mixture. Add any toppings you’d like and enjoy! For this version I added pecans, coconut whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes
- Storage: They’ll keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days in a sealed container. I usually make a few jars at once for an easy grab-and-go breakfast all week.
- Pumpkin puree: Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling, which has added sugar and spices. If you want to make your own, try my homemade pumpkin puree — it’s easy and tastes so fresh.

I enjoyed this – it’s creamy and filling. And fluffy, somehow! I used Greek yogurt in it and that was the perfect compliment to the pumpkin. Thanks for a great recipe!
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear. I’m so glad this recipe was a hit. Thanks for giving it a try and for coming back to leave a review. I really appreciate it!
Oh my goodness! Thank you for this recipe. It is delicious. I will be adding it to my rotation for sure. It seriously tastes just like a peice of pumpkin pie. I added protein powder to mine. If you are from Canada and looking for a great protein to use, I used the Vanilla cupcake for this recipe. I also added a 1/4tsp of Termeric and a small sprinkle of pepper. I couldn’t even taste the pepper in it. It is just to cause the termeric to react.
Yay! So glad you enjoyed the pumpkin pie oats, Tammy. Love your creative additions with the turmeric and protein powder. Thanks for making the recipe and for coming back to leave a review.
I’ve made overnight oats in the past and I found them pretty bland. But I decided to give yours a try because every recipe I’ve made from your site I absolutely LOVE, so I had pretty high hopes that these would be pretty good… but I was wrong, these aren’t pretty good… THEY ARE AMAZINGGGG! Thank you so much for this delicious recipe. I felt like I was eating dessert for breakfast. I can’t wait to make all your other overnight oat recipes!!

AH yay! I am so glad this recipe is a hit for the whole family, Alice. Thank you for sharing your review & star rating, it means so much to me!
This recipe is delicious! We have cinnamon protein powder and I added some of that and left out the pumpkin pie spice. It will be on my rotation this fall 😊
I made this 2 nights ago & had it this morning. I wasn’t expecting much…I’m addicted to the Brownie Batter Overnight Oats, so I didn’t this was gonna do it. But OMG, it was so yummy! I added the greek yogurt. It was nice and rich. The BBOO might now be my second favorite!
This is my new breakfast hyper fixation! It is so delicious! I love adding the optional half scoop of protein powder. It really makes it a super satisfying meal. Thank you!!!

I tripled the recipe in a blender and poured it into three mason jars; got three very short servings.
I’ve decided I’m going to combine Greek yogurt with coconut whipped cream and protein powder to top it.
Love this so much, Natalie. Glad you are loving this recipe and it turned out delicious for you. Thanks for sharing your review & star rating, it means so much to me!
I always thought overnight oats weren’t for me. I tried several different recipes from blogs and cookbooks and all were just okay. Since it’s pumpkin everything season and I have puree to spare, I decided to give this one a go. Best. Decision. Ever. These overnight oats are MAGIC. Autumnal, pumpkiny magic. I double the recipe so I can make two breakfasts worth of oats at a time, and might even try quadrupling it so I can have a week’s worth! I love that I can make it in one bowl and don’t need to cook it on the stovetop. Less clean-up and less appliances is always a win. I up the levels of maple syrup because I like it a little bit sweeter, and I use ground flaxseed instead of the chia because I can’t stand the chia seed texture in oats and puddings. I also pop it in the microwave for a minute before I’m ready to eat it because cold oats just aren’t my jam! Now I’m super stoked to see what other overnight oats recipes I can try on this blog! 🙂

I’ve seen overnight oatmeal recipes… and this one sounds yummy. So… do you eat them cold? I kinda like warm oatmeal and am not sure about cold.
Yes! Typically you eat overnight oats cold, BUT if that doesn’t sound good you can always heat them up in the morning. Maybe try this recipe, give the cold oats a taste and if you don’t like it, heat them up. 🙂
Can they be wormed up in the morning? Will it taste right? I prefer warm oatmeal but not if it’s going to “mess it up” ?
Looks like we both had pumpkin pie on the brain for breakfast 🙂
Love that you added in so much texture with those pepitas, hemp and chai seeds!
I made this recipe last night and I just had it for breakfast. Wow! It feels like Thanksgiving in July. What a delicious breakfast!
You’re starting with the pumpkin early!! I love it. 🙂
Thanks for all of the amazing recipe posts! I just found your site, and I feel like I’m saving every one of them to try later!
Putting this in the fridge right now 😀
Oh wow! This looks so good 🙂
I’m a huge overnight oats fan! 🙂 Yum! And i love that pumpkin plate! so cute!
These oats look so yummy – can’t wait to try them! Have dinner at Passions on the Beach if you have the time. The food and atmosphere was so wonderful – a meal highlight of our trip. If you return on a weekend day – be sure to get to the airport at least 3 hours early. You clear US Customs in Aruba and the lines are very long. Have a great trip!
Thanks so much for all the suggestions Susan! We do come home on the weekend so we’ll make sure to get to the airport early.
This looks super yummy!
Thank you!! 🙂
This looks fabulous!!
Where are you staying in Aruba? We were just there in July, we stayed at Bucuti and Tara and it was fabulous! I highly recommend going on one of the snorkeling tours- we went on a 3 stop catamaran one and it was amazing! We also went on a horseback tour to the Natural Pool which was great, so if you like/think you will like riding horses you may want to try it. There’s a great restaurant called the flying fishbone that you can sit with your feet in the water at sunset, fun and great food!
We’re staying at the Divi Resort an it’s our first time so your suggestions are really helpful. I definitely think we’ll do a couple snorkeling trips and we’ll look into the horseback ride as well. Thank you!!
hehehe i LOVE that pumpkin plate. that’s too cute. and YES to overnight pumpkin oats aka pumpkin pie in a mason jar. so pumped about this
Thank you, Beverley! I was so excited when I found this plate at Home Goods. 😛 I hope you get a chance to try the recipe!
Finally was able to get on the overnight oats bandwagon by using steel cut instead of old-fashioned! Something about the cold texture got me. But I had something like this last week and LOVED it. So so good. #pumpkineverything #noshame 😉
Have fun on your trip!
Yay! So happy you’re on-board with the overnight oats now. I’ve made them with steel cut oats before too and I really like the extra chewiness.
YUM!
Good luck with the packing! Aruba will be worth it though. Love this overnight oats and all the seeds you added. Yum!
Yum! What are the nutrition stats? Doesn’t look like they came though in the post.
Hi Cindy. Sorry about that — I don’t know what happened to the stats. Just added them again.
Definitely do a jeep tour in Aruba! You get to see SO many awesome things around the island that are unique. Completely worth it.
P.s- can’t wait to try this recipe! Bring on all the pumpkin.
