Pumpkin and Fall go hand in hand. It’s FINALLY feeling like fall here in Southern California and I’m super duper excited about it. When I lived on the east coast, Fall was my favorite season. The leaves changing, the cooler temperatures, and everything pumpkin and when you live in SoCal you only get a taste of Fall. I can’t really complain though because the summer here makes up for it!
I love how overnight oats are so versatile and that they can be adapted for every single season. Adding in the pureed organic pumpkin to these oats brings out the fall flavors and makes for a super creamy texture that I just can’t seem to get enough of.
These oats would make the perfect make-ahead breakfast or snack, especially for those of you with hectic mornings. I also think it would make the perfect meal to enjoy after an intense workout – hello 30 grams of protein and healthy carbohydrates! A macro dream!
Fall has arrived and these Protein Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats are made with wholesome, healthy, natural ingredients and are so delicious. The perfect cozy pumpkin Fall breakfast and it’s super simple to make!
