'Tis the season for everything pumpkin spice, and our breakfast lineup is no different! This pumpkin spice overnight oats recipe with chia seeds is not only full of nutritional value, but it’s also a superfood powerhouse that supports healthy hair, skin, and nails.
The Ingredients + Their Benefits:
This pumpkin spice overnight oats recipe is not only one of our favorite fall inspired recipes, but it's also a great source of fiber, minerals, and plant-based goodness.
Oats: The base of this recipe starts with rolled oats, a staple that’s not only rich in fiber but also packed with antioxidants. Oats are full of vitamins and minerals, and also keep you feeling full longer, making them perfect for a nutritious breakfast.
Chia seeds: Chia seeds are another important component for the base of our recipe. They offer multiple nutritional benefits like omega-3 fatty acids, protein and fiber. Mixed with our rolled oats, these two ingredients are a nourishing match made in heaven.
Pumpkin Puree: One of the standout ingredients that brings that cozy, fall-inspired flavor profile to this recipe is pumpkin puree. Not only is pumpkin absolutely delicious, but it’s also packed with essential vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants that promote overall health.
Pumpkin Pie Spice: Hello, more pumpkin 😍 In case the pumpkin puree just wasn’t enough, we decided to add in some pumpkin pie spice to our overnight oats as well. We love using this spice because it helps get that fall flavor we want without all the unnecessary added sugars.
Copina Co. Original Beauty Blend: This is where the benefits for nails, skin, and hair come into play. Our vegan collagen support blends feature herbalist-approved, plant-based ingredients such as tremella mushroom extract, gotu kola, and amla berry, all renowned for their natural collagen-boosting properties! We love incorporating these blends into our drinks and recipes because they provide an extra touch of wellness and taste 10/10!
Dairy-Free Milk: In this recipe, we prefer to keep things dairy-free by using plant-based milk alternatives. Whether you choose almond, coconut, oat, or cashew milk, each option brings its own unique flavor and nutritional benefits. Plus, it adds a creamy texture to your overnight oats, making them even more enjoyable!
Dairy-Free Yogurt: To take this recipe one step further and really get that soft creaminess, we also like to top our overnight oats with a dairy-free yogurt!
Cinnamon: Cinnamon is just another one of those staple ingredients that we always feel compelled to add into our recipes. It pairs so seamlessly with the oats and the pumpkin flavors, and makes the recipe feel complete, so we finish off this recipe with a dash of cinnamon on top!
In addition to its health and wellness benefits, we love making overnight oats because they’re quick and easy to prepare. Simply mix all the ingredients together, excluding the yogurt and cinnamon, and place them in the fridge to let the oats and chia seeds soften. Once they're ready, just top with your dairy-free yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon, and you’re good to go! It’s a hassle-free way to enjoy a nutritious breakfast any day of the week!
