Ingredients
Scale

- ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt (optional, can substitute with dairy-free coconut yogurt)
- 2 tbsp (30ml) maple syrup
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground ginger (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup (60g) chopped pecans
- 1 tbsp (15g) butter (can use vegan butter for dairy-free)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (90g) rolled oats with ½ cup (120ml) pumpkin puree. Stir until evenly coated.
- Pour in 1 cup (240ml) milk of your choice and ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt. Whisk to combine.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup, 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger (optional), and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Transfer the mixture to a jar or airtight container, cover, and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
- Before serving, melt 1 tablespoon (15g) butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add ½ cup (60g) chopped pecans and drizzle with 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup. Stir constantly for 3-4 minutes until pecans are toasted and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Spoon the creamy pumpkin oats into bowls or jars, top with warm maple glazed pecans, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen. Prepare pecans fresh before serving to keep crunch. Use rolled oats, not instant or steel-cut. For vegan version, use coconut yogurt, plant-based milk, and vegan butter or coconut oil. Store oats refrigerated up to 3 days; keep pecans separate until serving.
