Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Liquid measuring cup or separate medium bowl
- Whisk
- Silicone spatula
- Three 12-ounce (350 mL) jars with lids
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups 144 g old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp 24 g whole chia seeds
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom
- A tiny pinch of fine sea salt
- ¾ cup 204 g plain non-fat Icelandic skyr
- ¾ cup 183 g unsweetened pumpkin purée
- 1 ½ cups 360 mL unsweetened oat milk
- 4 tbsp 80 g date syrup
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Base In the large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, and the pinch of sea salt. Whisk everything together until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the oats.
- Blend the Pumpkin Cream In a separate liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, combine the Icelandic skyr, pumpkin purée, oat milk, date syrup, and vanilla bean paste. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and uniform in color.
- Unite the Mixtures Pour the liquid pumpkin cream mixture over the dry oat base in the large bowl.
- 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.
- Portion and Seal Carefully divide the oat mixture evenly among the three jars. Seal each jar securely with its lid.
- Chill and Set Transfer the sealed jars to the refrigerator. Allow them to chill for a minimum of 6 hours, or until the oats have absorbed the liquid and the mixture has thickened to a spoonable, pudding-like consistency. Serve chilled, with toppings like toasted pecans, a dollop of skyr, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
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. The consistency will continue to thicken slightly over time.
Ingredient Flexibility: Feel free to use any plain, high-protein yogurt-style product, such as Greek yogurt, in place of the skyr. For a different flavor note, you can substitute the date syrup with coconut nectar or agave. Any plant-based or dairy milk will work well.
Troubleshooting Consistency: If your oats seem too thick after chilling, simply stir in an extra splash of oat milk until you reach your desired texture. If you prefer a thicker result next time, add an extra teaspoon of chia seeds to the dry ingredients.
