A cozy and easy-to-make fall breakfast featuring creamy pumpkin spice overnight oats topped with crunchy maple candied pecans. Perfect for busy mornings or last-minute gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120ml) pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based, unsweetened almond milk preferred)
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup (60g) pecans (halves or roughly chopped)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (for candied pecans)
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon (for candied pecans)
  • Pinch of salt (for candied pecans)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, pumpkin puree, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until fully blended and smooth, about 3 minutes.
  2. Spoon the oat mixture into 2-3 glass jars or airtight containers. Seal tightly and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours to thicken.
  3. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add pecans, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously for 4-5 minutes until pecans are golden, sticky, and lightly toasted. Transfer to parchment paper to cool and harden.
  4. In the morning, stir the oats to blend flavors. Top each jar with a generous handful of maple candied pecans. Optionally, add extra maple syrup or cinnamon. Serve chilled or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get mushy. Add candied pecans just before serving to keep crunch. Adjust pumpkin pie spice to taste. Store oats up to 3 days refrigerated; candied pecans best fresh or within 1 day. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives. To loosen oats in morning, stir in a splash of milk.
