Description
Halloween Overnight Oats are a festive, make-ahead breakfast that tastes like creamy pumpkin pie but delivers steady energy, protein, and fiber. Packed with oats, pumpkin, chia seeds, and yogurt, they’re topped with spooky decorations for a kid-friendly, nutritious start to Halloween morning.
Ingredients
Rolled oats – 1 cup, old-fashioned
Milk of choice – 1 cup, dairy or almond
Pumpkin puree – 1/2 cup, 100% pumpkin
Greek or coconut yogurt – 1/2 cup, for creaminess and protein
Chia seeds – 1 tbsp, helps thicken
Maple syrup or honey – 1–2 tbsp, to taste
Pumpkin pie spice – 1–1.5 tsp, or cinnamon + nutmeg + ginger
Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
Fine salt – pinch
Halloween toppings – crushed cookies, candy eyes, banana ghosts, yogurt ghosts
Instructions
1. Whisk milk, pumpkin puree, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until smooth.
2. Stir in rolled oats and chia seeds until fully coated.
3. Divide mixture into mason jars, cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
4. In the morning, stir and adjust texture with milk or yogurt as needed.
5. Decorate with crushed cookies, candy eyes, banana ghosts, or yogurt ghost dollops before serving.
Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats; avoid instant or steel-cut for best results.
Balance liquid-to-oats at about 1:1 plus yogurt for ideal texture.
Sweeten lightly at night—flavors intensify by morning.
Make 4–5 jars ahead and keep toppings separate to preserve crunch.
Store refrigerated up to 3–4 days or freeze without toppings up to 1 month.
