Base Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk of choice (Fairlife 2% recommended)
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- 1–2 tbsp pure maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Toppings (Optional)

- Combine Ingredients: In a medium glass jar or container, add the milk, rolled oats, pumpkin puree, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Refrigerate: Seal the jar or container and refrigerate the mixture for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors fully, resulting in a creamy texture.
