These Vegan Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats are like eating pumpkin pie for breakfast, without all the sugar and guilt. They're also vegan, gluten free, and dairy free. You only need 5 minutes to prepare them for an easy, quick, delicious breakfast that's ready for you when you wake up in the morning.
If you're looking for a quick breakfast option, these oats could not be more simple. There's no cooking required, and preparation and cleanup couldn't be easier. This is a great option to grab and go, or if you're short on time in the morning.
The oats are soaked overnight until they absorb all the liquid and become tender and soft. I use almond milk, but feel free to use the milk of your choice. I add real pumpkin in this recipe with warm pumpkin spices to add plenty of natural flavor to the oats. A touch of maple syrup helps sweeten it all up a bit.
