Main Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk of choice (Fairlife 2% recommended)
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- 1–2 tbsp pure maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds

- Refrigerate: Seal the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and thicken while the flavors meld.

Notes
- Use any milk you prefer: dairy or plant-based alternatives like almond, oat, or soy.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup according to your taste.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and skip the whipped cream or use a non-dairy alternative.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Adding protein powder enhances the protein content, making it a great post-workout or energizing breakfast.
- Feel free to swap pecans for walnuts, almonds, or other nuts.
