Q: I really want to make these, but I only have rolled oats in my pantry. Is that okay?

A: Definitely. Rolled oats work perfectly here. I actually use them sometimes myself when I don’t have sprouted oats. The texture will still be soft and creamy the next morning!

Q: Can I skip the zucchini?

A: You can totally skip it, but I swear you won’t even notice it’s there. It just sneaks in a few extra nutrients without changing the flavor.

Q: What if I want to make a big batch for meal prep?

A: Go for it! These overnight oats keep well in the fridge for at least five days. Just give them a good stir before serving, then add your favorite toppings. Breakfast for the week, done.

Instructions

If using sprouted oats, cook according to directions. Allow to cool while getting the rest of the ingredients together. If using rolled oats, no need to cook and use 3/4 to 1 cup. See the additional notes section for more info.
Peel and grate the zucchini. Squeeze out the excess liquid. Measure 1/2 cup, packed.
In a large bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, spices, and salt.
Stir until smooth, then fold in the cooked oats or rolled oats. Stir until evenly combined.
Taste and adjust for sweetness or spice as needed.
Divide the mixture into jars or pile it into a serving dish and cover it. Refrigerate overnight or for at least four hours so the flavors develop and the oats can soften even more.
When it’s ready, taste and adjust the spices, sweetness, or add more milk if you’d like.
Top with an apple pear compote, chopped toasted walnuts, pecans, or pumpkin seeds, a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, or a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.
Enjoy!
