  • Total Time10 minutes
  • Yield3 jars 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups 144 g old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp 24 g whole chia seeds
  • 1 tsp 2.6 g ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp 1 g ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp 0.5 g ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp 0.5 g ground cardamom
  • ¾ cup 204 g plain non-fat Greek yogurt or Icelandic skyr
  • ¾ cup 183 g unsweetened pumpkin purée
  • 1 ½ cups 360 mL unsweetened oat milk
  • 1 tbsp 20 g pure maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp 36 g monk fruit/erythritol blend sweetener
  • 1 ½ tsp 7.5 mL pure vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Base: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom. Whisk everything together until the spices are evenly distributed.
  2. Blend the Pumpkin Cream: In a separate medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, pumpkin purée, oat milk, maple syrup, monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and uniform in color.
  3. Combine: Pour the liquid pumpkin cream mixture over the dry oat base in the large bowl.
  4. Incorporate Thoroughly: Using a silicone spatula, fold the ingredients together. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure no dry pockets of oats remain and the mixture is fully combined.
  5. Portion and Seal: Carefully divide the oat mixture evenly among the three jars. Seal each jar securely with its lid.
  6. Chill and Set: Transfer the sealed jars to the refrigerator. Allow them to chill for a minimum of 6 hours, or overnight, until the oats have absorbed the liquid and the mixture has thickened to a spoonable, pudding-like consistency. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Storage: These soaked oats can be stored in their sealed jars in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them ideal for meal prep.
  • Sweetness: Adjust the monk fruit sweetener to your personal taste. You can start with 2 tablespoons and add more if desired.
  • Consistency: If your oats seem too thick after chilling, simply stir in an extra splash of oat milk until you reach your desired texture.
