It's back to school time, which means people are already looking to introduce fall flavors (despite warm weather), as evidenced by this pumpkin pie overnight oats recipe. From Monique at the food blog Ambitious Kitchen, the homemade breakfast differs from similar prepared pumpkin porridges by incorporating Omega 3-rich chia seeds. Made the night before, this morning meal is perfect for busy girls and early risers. You can even serve it in a jar to add an air of ambiance to the start of your day.
The pumpkin pie overnight oats are made with old fashioned oats, non-fat plain greek yogurt and unsweetened almond milk. To get that autumnal flavor you will also need ingredients including pumpkin puree, nutmeg, maple syrup, ground ginger and cinnamon.
