These pumpkin overnight oats have a little pumpkin spice latte flavor thanks to chilled coffee mixed with pumpkin purée and warm spices. Greek yogurt and chia seeds make them creamy, and mini chocolate chips add a sweet finish. Mix everything the night before, and breakfast is ready when you wake up.
You will love the twist on this overnight oats recipe. Coffee! It’s like having a pumpkin pie latte for breakfast. This pumpkin overnight oats recipe takes about 15 minutes to make and is a great make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings or on the go!
As a mom of five, I love having breakfast waiting in the fridge on a busy morning. I divide this batch into four jars so everyone can grab one. If you don’t want coffee in yours, you can replace it with more milk.
For a warm breakfast instead, try my pumpkin oatmeal.
Recipe Overview
Ingredients you will need
These are just a list of ingredients you will need to make this overnight oat. I’ve attached the full measurements further down below in the recipe card.
- Chilled brewed coffee: Gives the oats their pumpkin spice latte flavor. Cool it before mixing it with the yogurt and milk.
- Quick oats: These soften well in the fridge and give this recipe a soft texture. Old-fashioned rolled oats work too if you prefer more chew.
- Pumpkin purée: Use plain pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Milk and Greek yogurt: Add creaminess and help the oats soften overnight.
- Chia seeds: Thicken the mixture as it rests.
- Pumpkin pie spice and vanilla: Add the warm fall flavor.
- Maple syrup: Sweetens the batch. Taste the mixture before dividing it into jars, and adjust to your liking.
- Mini chocolate chips: Stir them in or save some for topping.
Tips for the best texture
- Mix the chia seeds thoroughly: they can clump if they aren’t stirred through the liquid.
- Use chilled coffee: you can brew it the day before or use plain cold brew.
- Choose your oat texture: quick oats make softer overnight oats. Rolled oats stay a little chewier.
- Adjust in the morning: If the oats are thicker than you like, stir in a splash of milk.
- Use roomy containers: Leave space to stir the oats and add toppings before serving.
How to make pumpkin overnight oats
Here is a video and step-by-step process of how to make these overnight oats with pumpkin puree.
1️⃣ Brew the coffee
First, brew the coffee to your liking, strain it, and allow it to cool.
✏️ While you wait for the coffee to cool down, set up the other ingredients
2️⃣ Make the liquid Pumpkin base
Next, in a medium bowl, combine coffee, milk, yogurt, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix until well combined.
✏️ To make it plant-based, use almond milk and dairy-free chocolate chips.
3️⃣ Add the oats and chia
Then, add the oats, chia seeds, and chocolate chips. Mix well to combine everything. Divide the mixture into 4 mason jars or airtight containers.
✏️ You can leave everything in the bowl and cover it till the next day before you divide it up. It’s up to you.
4️⃣ Refrigerate and serve
Seal the jars and refrigerate overnight to set. Before serving, top with a spoonful of yogurt and garnish with extra chocolate chips.
Common Questions
Yes. You can always blend overnight oats for a smoother texture. I would wait to add the chocolate chips if you want to blend the oats first.
Overnight oats are meant to be enjoyed cold, and thus, the convenience of grabbing them in the morning and digging right in. If you would like to warm it up, you can do so in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
The coffee adds a noticeable flavor alongside the pumpkin and spices. If you don’t enjoy coffee, replace it with an equal amount of milk.
No. Use plain pumpkin purée. Pumpkin pie filling already contains sweetener and spices.
Variations
- Skip the coffee: Replace the 1 cup of coffee with 1 cup of additional milk. The oats will have pumpkin pie flavor without the coffee taste.
- Make it dairy-free: Use plant-based milk and a dairy-free yogurt. Check the chocolate chips too.
- Change the toppings: Try chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, sliced banana, or an extra spoonful of yogurt.
- Use rolled oats: Swap them for quick oats if you like a chewier texture.

Really enjoyed this for breakfast.
Awesome. Glad you loved it
Had this recipe a few times already. Just delicious. I followed the recipe except I used vanilla flavored greek yogurt, admitted the maple syrup and coffee, and added raisins. Put in an extra cup of milk to substitute the cup of coffee. I warmed mine in the microwave before eating and added a half a banana sliced on top. I love anything pumpkin so I really enjoyed this overnight oats.
Thank you! we are glad you loved it
The macro breakdown. Is that per serving?
Hi. yes it’s per serving
This looks super deliscious! How long do you think a jar of it would keep well in the fridge (if made ahead)? Can’t wait to try it!
Oh sorry, just saw that you had it in the recipe notes! Have a great new week! 🙂
No worries. Thank you
