Pumpkin Overnight Oats Ingredients
Specific measurements are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. Here is what you’ll need to make these overnight oats:
- Greek yogurt: (I love vanilla Greek Yogurt)

- Pumpkin puree: choose pure pumpkin puree over pumpkin pie mix
- Maple syrup

Ingredient Notes
As mentioned, one of the things I love about overnight oats is the ability to customize it for dietary and flavor preferences. Here are a few ideas:
Yogurt: Greek Yogurt will need additional protein and less sugar to the overnight oats. But regular yogurt works good too. My preference is vanilla Greek Yogurt.
Milk: Nonfat milk, unsweetened almond milk, or your milk preference.
Spices: If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, substitute:
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
