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?
No worries, I'm never pumpkin-ed out! And August isn't too early to start fall for me!! Is it Christmas yet?? I'm dying to put up my tree 🙂 🙂
Hehe - if I was in Florida, I KNOW I would be less Grinchy about winter coming - I must move south some day 🙂
I agree with your pumpkin philosophy. But now I feel like I haven't been eating nearly enough pumpkin, so this looks awesome to me!!
Me too! I'm on a pumpkin tear right now for sure 🙂
SO good! I just made a similar recipe! You can never go wrong with chocolate, pumpkin, and oats!
I agree and ironically, I never really paired chocolate and pumpkin much before (why I have I waited so long??)
I'm never pumpkin-ed out either! I'm very funny about cloves myself, I see a lot of recipes with 1/2tsp or more and I'm like :O :O :O NO! It's only this year I've managed to up it to 1/4tsp max, before it was just a pinch! Thanks so much for the kind words and so glad you enjoyed these!
Hehe - love the idea of "building up a tolerance" to cloves - maybe I'll start with just a pinch then. I don't mind the smell - reminds me of all the good things about the holidays 🙂
Gorgeous! I held off too so I am just getting started with pumpkin! Looks like a fun blogging club!
Oh good - I was hoping I wasn't one of the few that was over pumpkin already 🙂 You should check out Secret Recipe Club's home page - it's a great way to meet other food bloggers and help with that editorial calendar (at least once a month.)
I am a total sucker for overnight oats! And if chocolate + maple syrup are involved it's all over...I've never actually tried an overnight oats recipe without yogurt, but this will be perfect to try with the leftover pumpkin I have in my fridge! Can't wait to try 🙂
I've never really made the over night oats before, but these look pretty easy to do. Also delicious enough to try out for when it gets cold around here and to easily warm up some with the kids for school in the morning.
They are so easy to make and great to have a batch on hand. And with this colder weather, I do like heating them up in the morning - great for busy mornings before school!
Pumpkin and chocolate is one of my favorite combos, especially this time of year. You manage to put them together in a breakfast dish that looks delicious and nourishing. I also like that this is something I can make ahead and the kids can have at it and heat it in the microwave if they want. Easy. Thanks!
Pumpkin and chocolate is probably the best combo. I'm feeling a potential breakfast for dinner situation happening when I get home from work. Thanks for the idea!
These look so good! I'm definitely still 100% into pumpkin recipes right now. We have pumpkin puree in the fridge right now so I want to make these tonight! Will the recipe turn out if I use quick oats, do you think?
Yes, absolutely you could use quick oats and it might even absorb up the milk faster than regular - let me know if you make it!
This looks delicious! I did the same thing, no pumpkin while the sun is out! SO I'm just starting my pumpkin recipes and I love it. I'm adding this one to my list!
Love your motto: "no pumpkin while the sun is out" -lol
this is definitely becoming breakfast for dinner. pumpkin, chocolate and oatmeal are three of my favorite foods.
LOVE breakfast for dinner (ever since I was a kid) and even more so now that I'm a mom = quick, easy and healthy!
OOH, the second pumpkin oatmeal I've seen! I've been eating so much pumpkin but haven't had pumpkin oatmeal. Now I have 2 recipes to try!!
yes - let me know if you try it 🙂
I'm beginning to tire of pumpkin, but I know I'll miss pumpkin when I can't have it. These oats look and sound so yummy!
I really adore overnight oats. Chocolate and pumpkin sounds like a wonderful combination, too!
I like them too and yet for some reason don't make them all that much - and they are so easy 🙂
I will never tire of pumpkin especially when it's paired with chocolate. I adore this recipe since it has all of my favorite ingredients! My kids are not big oatmeal eaters, but maybe this recipe will tempt them 🙂 Pinning to my breakfast board now!!
Let me know if this gets them on board - surprisingly, Mia will eat plain Jane oatmeal but of course doesn't object at all when a few chocolate chips are added in!
I never get tired of pumpkin and have been wanting to try overnight oats, so this needs to happen at my house ASAP!
I think you'll really like how easy they are to make (and my batch lasted for almost a week of breakfasts - score 🙂
Love anything with chocolate!
Is there a better combination than pumpkin and chocolate? Mmmmmm gotta be the perfect fall breakfast 🙂
Admittedly, chocolate & pumpkin is a newer combo for me (why did it take me this long??) and it is glorious 🙂
OMG! This is my personal version of heaven in a bowl.
I like it "heaven in a bowl" 🙂
