Ingredients

For the Base

1¾ cups vanilla or unflavored almond milk
1-2 scoops vanilla protein powder (can sub with unflavored)
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2-2½ tablespoons Instant Jell-O cheesecake pudding mix
1/2 cup 100% pure pumpkin
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon maple syrup, optional
Pinch of sea salt

Highly Recommended Toppings

Banana slices or cinnamon apples
Whipped Cream
Chopped or crushed pecans
Caramel drizzle
More pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Option 1: (for best distribution) Add all base ingredients to a bowl and whisk until smooth and well-combined. Taste test, and add maple syrup if needed. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. After refrigeration, separate the overnight oats into two separate jars or containers.
Option 2: Add 1/2 cup of rolled oats to two mason jars or storage containers. Add all remaining ingredients to a bowl and whisk until smooth. Taste test, and add maple syrup if needed. Evenly distribute this mixture into the two separate containers, and stir to combine. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
Top your overnight oats with banana slices, whipped cream and chopped pecans. Enjoy! If storing oats for later, make sure the bananas are covered by the oats mixture so they don't spoil. Or, add banana slices when ready to consume.

Notes

Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
If substituting the almond milk with cow's milk, the base will be much thicker and more liquid may be needed.

Nutritional information is just an estimation, and individual ingredients and preparation may lead to slight discrepancies. Calculated with one extra large banana (for 2 servings), 1 scoop of protein powder and unsweetened almond milk. Boost the protein with 1 1/2-2 scoops of protein powder and/or cow's milk!
