Pumpkin Greek Yogurt Overnight Oats Tips:

A scoop of Greek yogurt is a great addition to make your pumpkin overnight oats extra smooth and creamy. Here are the best tips to keep your soaked oats fresh and delicious every time.

  • Use certified gluten-free rolled oats to make sure that your oatmeal is gluten-free.
  • Quick oats will get too soggy and turn into mush when soaked with milk.
  • Steel-cut oats won’t soften very much, which results in a much chewier texture. 
  • To make it vegan, choose a dairy-free alternative like soy milk, oat milk or almond milk. Instead of honey, use maple syrup to keep it free from animal byproducts. 
  • Overnight oats are typically served chilled. However, if you prefer warm oats, you can heat them in the microwave. Use a jar that is microwave-safe and stir frequently while you’re warming it up. 
  • Meal prep overnight oats ahead of time by making a batch on Sunday evening. As a result, you will have it on hand in the fridge for the whole week. They typically stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days. 
  • If you want to reduce the creaminess, then substitute water to balance out the effects of the Greek yogurt.
