Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsweetened oat milk (or any milk you prefer)
  • 2 chai tea bags (recommend Tazo or Stash)
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree (100% pure pumpkin)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Tiny pinch of black pepper
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (for topping, optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pecans or walnuts (for topping, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin seeds (for topping, optional)
  • Drizzle of maple syrup (for topping, optional)
  • A dusting of cinnamon (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Steep the chai milk: Pour the oat milk into a small saucepan and warm over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat, add chai tea bags, and steep for 5 minutes. Gently squeeze the bags against the side of the pan with a spoon before removing.
  2. Whisk the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the warm chai milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate small bowl, stir together the rolled oats, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and salt.
  4. Combine everything: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until well combined. The mixture will look loose.
  5. Divide into jars: Pour the mixture evenly into two mason jars or airtight containers, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  6. Refrigerate overnight: Put the lids on and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or up to 4 days.
  7. Add toppings and serve: In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Top with Greek yogurt, chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dusting of cinnamon.

Notes

For best flavor, warm the milk before steeping the chai tea bags. Do not skip the chia seeds—they are crucial for creamy texture. The flavors improve on day two. To make vegan, use maple syrup instead of honey and skip the Greek yogurt or use a dairy-free alternative.
