Ingredients
Instructions
1. Combine dry ingredients: In a jar or a small container with a lid, add the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together thoroughly with a spoon to ensure they are well combined. This prevents the protein powder from clumping.
2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup.
3. Mix thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together very well. Make sure there are no dry spots of oats or protein powder stuck to the bottom or sides of the jar. Scrape the sides down to incorporate everything.
4. Secure the lid: Place a tight-fitting lid on your jar or container.
5. Refrigerate to set: Transfer the sealed container to the refrigerator. Allow the oats to chill for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight (8 hours), for the best consistency. This allows the oats to soften and the chia seeds to swell, creating a thick, creamy texture.
6. Serve and enjoy: The next morning, remove the oats from the refrigerator. Give them a quick stir. If they are too thick, you can add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with your favorite additions and enjoy!
