Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
Satisfy your chocolate and pumpkin pie cravings with a healthy breakfast in this easy to make overnight oatmeal recipe.
Hopefully, you all aren't "pumpkin-ed out" right now.
I made a vow not to make, eat or promote anything pumpkin until the first day of fall because I'm sorry, pumpkin in August is TOO early (then when the real pumpkin season is in full swing, people are done with it. A shame.)
So, I got to this pumpkin recipe in a round about way.
As part of the Secret Recipe Club, you're assigned a blogger and you select a recipe to feature from his/her blog which no one knows until reveal day (today.) This month I got Annie of Annie's Noms.
Annie is a recent university graduate from the UK and her blog motto is one I can get behind: "Making life delicious, one recipe at a time." (And beyond all her fab recipes, I'm digging her UK/US substitutions chart for ingredients.)
I got to say, I kept changing my mind on which of Annie's recipes to feature. First, I was going to make her Caramel Apple Oatmeal Bars. Well, I DID make them but it was when the light was fading and then I started to eat them and then I brought the rest to a friend's and alas, no photos (but very happy bellies.)
Next, I was slated to make her Pumpkin Coffee Syrup for a Pumpkin Chai Tea Latte. But I was out of chai tea bags then I forgot to get them on my next store run. Then after jumping back onto her blog for the exact ingredients, I saw she recently posted this Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats recipe and I thought "I'd love that for breakfast tomorrow" and the rest is history. (I'm still making that coffee syrup one of these days.)
My main tweaks included reducing the sweetener and upping the amount of pumpkin and milk. (And deleting the cloves - I love me some pumpkin pie spices but cloves are on my short "no thanks" ingredient list.

So, are you "pumpkin-ed" out or can't get enough? If you eat oatmeal, what are your favorite mix-ins these days?
Nope not tired of pumpkin yet! But I have to admit I am very intrigued by the coffee syrup. Please let me know how it is (I'm a sucker for chai).
Yes - I still gotta make that pumpkin syrup (I love me some chai too 🙂
So I'm not normally an overnight oats fan (they always seem gritty... not sure why) but these look really good. I like the addition of cocoa powder to this recipe. And I totally agree with you about August being too early for pumpkin! I'm not sick of it yet (but then again, I hate Starbucks pumpkin spiced lattes so I didn't have the chance to get burned out on the flavor).
Great SRC post
These overnight oats were really creamy - no grit at all 🙂 I heated them up the next day with a little more milk in the microwave.
There are so many yummy flavors in this I'd eat it for breakfast AND dessert.
I've never heard of this group before but it sounds like so much fun! I just looked into joining but you need 100 recipes 🙁 I totally agree with you - pumpkin season should NOT be in August!! It's crazy! This looks so yummy! I notice you have 2 cups of oats for 2 servings - do you eat a full cup for a serving?
Looks delicious!! I need to make a bunch of pumpkin overnight oats when I get home tomorrow!
Two of my faaavorite things -- CHOCOLATE + PUMPKIN = quintessential fall (for me!)...love this!
Can't go wrong with that combo!!
I just made like 10 different pumpkin things this weekend... ha! They are all so yummy. One of those was a pumpkin chocolate chip bread and I love the combo. These oats look delicious!
