This healthy, filling, protein-packed breakfast is super easy to make and tastes like a slice of pumpkin pie straight from the Thanksgiving table!  With amazing ingredients, this recipe is a great source of fiber, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and anti-oxidants, providing several health benefits, including improving digestion and heart health, regulating blood sugar and lowering inflammation. Make a few jars on Sunday night and keep them covered in the fridge for up to a week.  Nosh on them when you don’t have time to cook in the mornings, take them to work to enjoy or just eat them as a snack or dessert!

Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp. pumpkin (fresh or canned with no sugar)

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

  • ¼ cup plain organic Greek yogurt (omit if dairy-free or sub with dairy-free yogurt)

  • ¼ tsp. Pumpkin pie spice

  • ¼ tsp. Cinnamon

  • 1 tbsp. ground Flaxseeds

  • 1 tbsp. Hemp seeds

  • 1 tbsp. Chia seeds

  • ½ tsp. Vanilla

  • 1/8 tsp. Sea salt

  • 2-3 tsp. raw honey

  • 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats or Steel Cut Oats

  • ¼ cup chopped Walnuts

  • Optional additional toppings: More Walnuts, Pecans, berries, drizzle honey

Preparation:

  • In a glass jar (I use a wide mouth mason jar) combine pumpkin, yogurt, and milk. Then add remaining ingredients and stir to combine/shake jar.

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours or overnight.

  • The following morning stir well before eating to evenly distribute the oats.

  • Add any other desired toppings of choice.

  • Add an extra drizzle of honey if more sweetness is preferred.

  • You may enjoy the oats cold, or place in a small saucepan and heat for a few minutes to warm.

  • Enjoy!
