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!
