Ingredients for Your Pumpkin Spice Latte Overnight Oats
Making these is SO simple, and having everything ready makes it even easier! You’ll need:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats: Make sure you use the old-fashioned rolled oats, not the instant kind. They just hold up way better overnight.
- 1 cup milk: I usually use almond milk, but dairy, soy, oat milk – whatever you love works great!
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree: Just the plain pumpkin stuff, not the pie filling.
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds: These little guys are magic for thickening things up and adding some healthy fats.
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup: Or any sweetener you prefer, really. Adjust it to your taste!
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice: This gives you that classic PSL flavor bomb.
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract: A little touch to round out all those yummy flavors.
Crafting Your Perfect Pumpkin Spice Latte Overnight Oats
Alright, let’s get these amazing Pumpkin Spice Latte Overnight Oats made! It’s honestly ridiculously simple, which is my favorite kind of recipe. You just need a jar or any little container with a lid, and about 5 minutes before you hit the hay. It’s the best way to guarantee a delicious and satisfying breakfast is waiting for you when you wake up.
Step 1: Combine Ingredients
First things first, grab your jar. Dump in your rolled oats, milk, pumpkin puree, chia seeds, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Give it all a good stir to make sure everything is nicely mixed up and there are no dry spots hiding anywhere.
Step 2: Chill for Optimal Flavor
Now, pop a lid on that jar nice and tight. Pop it right into the fridge. You need to let it chill for at least 4 hours, but honestly, overnight is where the magic really happens. This gives the oats time to soften up and soak up all that lovely flavor.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
The next morning (or whenever you’re ready!), just give it another good stir. If it looks a little too thick for your liking, just splash in a tiny bit more milk until it’s just right for you. Then, top it off with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, just like a real latte!
Tips for the Best Pumpkin Spice Latte Overnight Oats
Okay, so you’ve got the basic recipe down, but let’s talk about how to make these *truly* next-level. I’ve learned a few little tricks along the way that really amp up the flavor and make these oats something special, almost like you just popped into your favorite cafe.
Achieving the Perfect Latte Flavor
Want it to taste *exactly* like your favorite PSL? The secret weapon here is a tiny splash of coffee! Seriously, just a tablespoon or two of brewed coffee or a shot of espresso mixed in with the other ingredients the night before makes all the difference. It really brings that authentic latte vibe.
Customizing Your Pumpkin Spice Latte Overnight Oats
The beauty of these is how easy they are to tweak! I love adding a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon right before I dig in, just like the real deal. You can also play around with different milks – oat milk is particularly creamy here – or even a little drizzle of extra maple syrup if you have a sweet tooth. Don’t be afraid to make them your own!
