WHAT ARE PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE OVERNIGHT OATS
Pumpkin Cheesecake Overnight Oats is a delicious autumn-inspired breakfast that combines rolled oats with the cream cheese, pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice. This breakfast actually tastes like Pumpkin Cheesecake, so you can have a dessert for breakfast!
INGREDIENTS FOR PUMPKIN CHESSECAKE OVERNIGHT OATS
- Rolled Oats: They’re a great source of fiber!
- Milk: Whether you prefer dairy or non-dairy options like almond or soy, milk adds the necessary liquid to soften the oats during their overnight rest.

- Greek Yogurt: A spoonful of yogurt adds additional creaminess to the oats.
- Pumpkin Puree: The star of the show! Pumpkin puree infuses our oats with delicious fall flavor while also adding a boost of vitamins and fiber.
- Maple Syrup or Honey: Sweeteners that enhance the overall taste.
- Vanilla Extract: A dash of vanilla extract adds a sweet, aromatic note.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: The magical blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves (or allspice).
