Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 0.75 cup milk of choice Fairlife 2% recommended for extra protein
  • 0.5 cup old fashioned rolled oats not instant oats
  • 2 tablespoon pumpkin puree pure canned pumpkin, not pie filling
  • 2 tablespoon vanilla protein powder whey-based recommended
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup adjust to taste, can use up to 2 tablespoons
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • chopped pecans optional for topping
  • whipped cream optional for topping

Equipment

  • Glass jar or container with lid
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spoon for stirring

Method
 

  1. Add milk, rolled oats, pumpkin puree, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice to a glass jar or container with lid.
  2. Stir vigorously for at least 45 seconds until all ingredients are well combined and no clumps of protein powder remain. The mixture should look smooth and evenly colored.
  3. Secure the lid tightly and give the jar a final shake to distribute chia seeds evenly throughout the mixture.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and chia seeds to create a pudding-like consistency.
  5. Before serving, give the oats a quick stir to redistribute any separated liquid.
  6. Top with chopped pecans and whipped cream if desired, then enjoy cold or warm in microwave for 45-60 seconds.

Notes

Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days. For thicker oats, reduce milk to 2/3 cup or add extra chia seeds. Multiply recipe for meal prep. Use rolled oats (not instant) for best texture. Choose pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Do not freeze as texture becomes grainy when thawed.
