Pumpkin Protein Overnight Oats
These high protein pumpkin pie overnight oats are a healthy and delicious meal prep friendly breakfast perfect for busy mornings on the go.
Equipment
- 1 Glass Container
Ingredients
- ⅓ Cup Quick Oats
- 2 Tablespoons Vanilla Protein Powder: I used Garden of Life 100% Whey Protein
- 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
- ½ Tablespoon Brown Sugar or maple syrup
- ½ Teaspoon Pumpkin Spice
- ¼ Cup Pumpkin Puree
- 1 Cup Milk of Choice
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
For the Topping
- 1 Tablespoon Low Fat Cream Cheese softened (optional)
- 3 Tablespoons Non- Fat Vanilla Greek Yogurt
- ½ Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste I got mine from Trader Joe's
- ¼ Teaspoon Pumpkin Spice
Instructions
- Add your dry ingredients (quick oats, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, brown sugar and pumpkin spice) to a meal prep friendly container. Next, add in your milk of choice followed by your pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Using the whisk, mix thoroughly until everything is well combined. Make sure to check the sides of your container to make sure that the chia seeds or protein powder are not stuck onto the sides.
- Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight (preferably).
- Once your overnight oats are in the fridge, make your topping by combining your greek yogurt, cream cheese, and vanilla bean paste. Whisk until everything is well combined and the cream cheese is evenly distributed into the mixture.
- Spoon over the yogurt and cream cheese mixture on top of your overnight oats mixture when you are ready to serve in the morning, top with your pecans and pumpkin spice to garnish. Enjoy!
- Hint: If you are running low on time and don’t mind the topping getting mixed throughout your oats, you can spoon your yogurt and cream cheese mixture on top of the overnight oats along with your pecans and pumpkin spice before they firm up. Place in the fridge overnight so you can grab and go without additional work in the morning.
