Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

½ cup pumpkin puree

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey for sweetness)

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)

Toppings: Sliced bananas, chopped walnuts, and a sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, carefully combine the rolled oats, almond milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup (or honey), pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Ensure all ingredients are evenly blended to create a smooth mixture.

    If you choose to include chia seeds for additional texture, fold them into the oat mixture and stir thoroughly so they are well integrated. The chia seeds will enhance the thickness and provide extra nutritional benefits.

      Transfer the combined mixture into an airtight container or portion into individual jars, which is perfect for convenient serving later.

        Seal the container(s) and place them in the refrigerator to chill overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This step is crucial as it allows the oats to soak up the liquid and meld the flavors beautifully.

          When you're ready to enjoy your overnight oats in the morning, stir the mixture well. If the oats are thicker than you prefer, simply add a splash more almond milk until you reach your desired creaminess.

            Top off your creation with freshly sliced bananas, a handful of chopped walnuts for crunch, and a light sprinkle of cinnamon for extra warmth and flavor before serving.
