Jump to RecipeWith pumpkin season looming ahead, it’s time to get into the Fall Food mood! Life has been hectic around here. I’ve been swamped lately and the girls and Grant have their own activities and schedules now as well. During the weekends we have a big sit down breakfast like Jelly Doughnuts, Waffles, or Pumpkin Pancakes. But for the busy weekdays or times when we don’t want to spend time cooking in the morning I like to have a healthy and satisfying breakfast ready to go. These Overnight Pumpkin Oats are so tasty that they’re like eating a bowl of pumpkin pie for breakfast, only this is a healthy alternative! This is perfect to make on Sunday evening and have for those busy Mondays!
Overnight Pumpkin Oats are filled with ground flax seed, pureed pumpkin, oats, and milk. Pumpkin pie spice and pure maple syrup give you a healthy breakfast that tastes like you are eating a slice of pumpkin pie!

These oats will provide energy and a tasty breakfast that you can devour straight from the fridge. This is also a fantastic way to use all of the leftover fresh or canned pumpkin you may have.
