No Bake Overnight Sugar-Free Pumpkin Pie Oats is an easy breakfast to grab and go!
Rolled Oats and chia with some milk can do amazing things for you for breakfast. Not only are they healthy and filling, when combined they are the perfect make ahead breakfast that you can grab and go quickly in the morning. Throw in some pure pumpkin and spices and you've got a flavorful fall breakfast!
If you follow my blog you've seen my other no bake recipes like the Mango Chia Oats or the Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Oats, both though contain yogurt so they are not a dairy free option. Recently over the summer I brought you my Dairy Free No Bake Rolled Oats and using that recipe I adapted to bring you this one. The differences when using the yogurt as opposed to eliminating it is in thickness. If you prefer a thicker, creamier texture use the recipes with the yogurt. But if you are dairy free, this recipe is a winner. Light in texture, but still creamy with the help of the pumpkin puree.
Cold oats is something you may have never tried. And if you're anything like me and enjoy your oats warm, I wasn't sure I'd ever be a fan. BUT the desire for a breakfast of little effort and made before I head to bed, far outweighed my skepticism . I enjoy cold oats regularly in the early spring, summer and fall. Winter I will stick to my Crock Pot for easy oatmeal!
The topping you see here is Dairy Free Whipped Cream. I also added a tablespoon of pumpkin puree to the cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. A slight hint of pumpkin in the topping is just divine, but of course completely optional. If your not a fan of stevia you can just eliminate it and add honey or other sweetener of you choice. Just mix ingredients, add sweetener and taste test to decide how much is needed.

Brenda, you've inspired me to make these cold oat/chia breakfasts again! I've made the mango and chocolate flavours previously, and enjoyed them immensely, but I found the yogurt was pretty heavy for my stomach. Now I'm going to do some experiments with dairy-free. And despite the fact that pumpkins are not usually used as sweet food in Australia, you never know, I might just try it! 🙂 Thanks!
Morgan
What is in pumpkin pie spice?
Brenda
Just basically the spices of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.
Morgan
Thanks, we don't really have pumpkin pie in Australia so I didn't really know. Will this recipe work with quinoa flakes? I'm a coeliac but would love to have something like this for breakfast, sound yum as!

Hi just letting you know that you might want to consider renaming your page. The term "sugar-free" is very misleading because your recipes do in fact contain sugar. I understand your concept behind the name, but legally the term "sugar-free" can only be used if the product "contains no ingredient that is a sugar or that is generally understood by consumers to contain sugars unless the listing of the ingredient in the ingredient statement is followed by an asterisk that refers to the statement below the list of ingredients, which states "adds a trivial amount of sugar," "adds a negligible amount of sugar," or "adds a dietarily insignificant amount of sugar."
Just giving you the heads up because you may mislead people into thinking that your recipes contain no sugar. But otherwise, cute page!

While I appreciate your comment I have no intention of ever changing my name. I am completely sugar-free. I am a mom. My about page clearly states the two types of recipes I share on my blog all for free, all recipes I make myself and my family. While I am sugar-free, my children and hubby are not, therefore I make recipes that include natural sweeteners such as honey and coconut sugar as well as sugar free alternatives like stevia for myself.
