Pumpkin Spice Latte Overnight Oats Recipe Easy Fall Breakfast
Some mornings call for breakfast that tastes like fall, feels a little cozy, and still takes almost no effort. These Pumpkin Spice Latte Overnight Oats are exactly that kind of breakfast.
They have the creamy texture of classic overnight oats, the warm spice of pumpkin pie, and a gentle coffee flavor from STōK cold brew. Think of it as a chilled pumpkin spice latte you can eat with a spoon. The oats soften overnight, the chia seeds help thicken everything, and the Greek yogurt adds a creamy, satisfying finish.
The best part is that this recipe takes just a few minutes to prep. Mix everything in a jar, let the fridge do the work, and wake up to a ready-to-eat fall breakfast.
Why you will love these pumpkin spice latte overnight oats
This recipe works because it brings together two seasonal favorites in one easy breakfast. You get the flavor of a pumpkin spice latte, but with the staying power of oats, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds.
The cold brew gives the oats a smooth coffee base without the need to brew anything in the morning. STōK cold brew has a bold flavor, so it stands up nicely to the pumpkin purée, maple syrup, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice.
The texture is just as important as the flavor. Rolled oats soften while they chill, chia seeds thicken the mixture, and Greek yogurt keeps everything creamy. After a few hours in the fridge, the oats become spoonable, rich, and dessert-like without being too sweet.
This breakfast is also easy to adjust. You can make it sweeter, add protein powder, use dairy-free milk, or skip the toppings if you want something simpler. If you love make-ahead breakfasts, this Pumpkin Spice Latte Overnight Oats Recipe Easy Fall Breakfast is a great one to keep in your rotation.
A few reasons this jar is worth making:
It takes about 5 minutes to prep.
It tastes like a fall coffee shop drink.
It uses simple pantry and fridge staples.
It works well for meal prep.
It can be made with dairy or dairy-free ingredients.
It feels fun, but it is still practical for busy mornings.
Ingredients for pumpkin spice latte overnight oats
This recipe makes one generous serving. You can easily double or triple it if you want breakfast ready for a few days.
Ingredient | Amount |
Old-fashioned rolled oats | 1/2 cup |
STōK cold brew coffee | 1/3 cup |
Milk of choice | 1/4 cup |
Plain or vanilla Greek yogurt | 1/4 cup |
Pumpkin purée | 1/4 cup |
Chia seeds | 1 tablespoon |
Maple syrup | 1 to 2 teaspoons |
Pumpkin pie spice | 1/2 teaspoon |
Vanilla extract | 1/4 teaspoon |
Salt | Pinch |
Vanilla protein powder | Optional, 1/2 scoop |
For topping:
Zero Sugar Cool Whip
Crumbled graham crackers
Pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
A quick note on pumpkin: use pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling already has sugar and spices mixed in, which can make the oats too sweet and throw off the flavor.
For the oats, old-fashioned rolled oats work best. They soften nicely without turning mushy. Quick oats can work in a pinch, but the texture will be softer. Steel-cut oats are not the best choice for this recipe because they stay too chewy unless prepared differently.
How to make pumpkin spice latte overnight oats
This is a stir-and-chill recipe, so there is no cooking involved. A jar with a lid works well, but any small container with a tight cover will do.
Numbered instructions
Add the ingredients to a jar.
Add the oats, STōK cold brew, milk, Greek yogurt, pumpkin purée, chia seeds, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt to a jar or container. If you are using vanilla protein powder, add it now.
Stir until creamy.
Stir everything together really well. Make sure the pumpkin purée, yogurt, chia seeds, and spices are fully mixed in. Scrape the bottom and sides of the jar so there are no dry pockets of oats or powder.
Cover and chill.
Cover the jar and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 to 6 hours. The oats need time to absorb the liquid and soften.
Stir before serving.
When you are ready to eat, give the oats a quick stir. If they seem too thick, add a small splash of milk and stir again.
Add the toppings.
Top with Zero Sugar Cool Whip, crumbled graham crackers, and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.
That is it. No stove, no blender, no complicated prep. Just a creamy jar of pumpkin coffee oats waiting in the fridge.
If you are making these for meal prep, mix the base ahead of time and wait to add the toppings until right before eating. The graham crackers taste best when they stay crumbly.
Tips for the best texture and flavor
Overnight oats are simple, but a few small details make a big difference.
Stir more than you think you need to
Chia seeds love to clump. Greek yogurt can also sit in thick pockets if it is not mixed all the way through. Stir until the mixture looks evenly creamy before you put it in the fridge.
If you add protein powder, stir even more carefully. Protein powder can make the oats thicker and may clump if it hits the liquid unevenly. A small whisk can help if you are mixing in a wider container.
Adjust the sweetness to match your yogurt
If you use vanilla Greek yogurt, start with 1 teaspoon of maple syrup. Vanilla yogurt already adds sweetness.
If you use plain Greek yogurt, you may prefer 2 teaspoons of maple syrup. Taste the oats after chilling and add a tiny drizzle more if needed.
Keep the coffee flavor smooth
Cold brew works especially well here because it tends to taste smooth and less sharp than hot brewed coffee that has been chilled. The coffee flavor should come through, but it should not overpower the pumpkin spice.
If you prefer a lighter coffee flavor, use a little less cold brew and add a bit more milk. If you want a stronger latte-style taste, keep the cold brew as written.
Make it thicker or thinner
Overnight oats can vary depending on the yogurt, oats, protein powder, and milk you use.
For thicker oats:
Add another teaspoon of chia seeds.
Use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt.
Add the optional protein powder.
For thinner oats:
Add a splash of milk before serving.
Use slightly less chia seed.
Skip the protein powder.
The recipe should be creamy, not dry. It should hold together on a spoon but still stir easily.
Easy swaps and add-ins
This recipe is flexible, which makes it easy to fit your taste and what you already have at home.
Milk options
Use any milk you like. Dairy milk, almond milk, oat milk, cashew milk, and soy milk all work. Oat milk gives the recipe an extra creamy texture and pairs nicely with the coffee flavor.
Yogurt options
Plain Greek yogurt keeps the recipe tangy and balanced. Vanilla Greek yogurt makes it sweeter and more dessert-like. If you want a dairy-free version, use a thick dairy-free yogurt.
Sweetener options
Maple syrup fits the fall flavor best, but you can use honey, brown sugar, or your preferred sweetener. Start small. You can always add more after the oats chill.
Protein powder
The optional 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder makes the oats thicker and adds more vanilla flavor. If your protein powder is very sweet, use less maple syrup.
If the mixture gets too thick after chilling, stir in milk one tablespoon at a time until it loosens.
Topping ideas
The suggested toppings make this feel like a pumpkin pie latte breakfast jar. Zero Sugar Cool Whip adds a creamy topping, the graham crackers give crunch, and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice finishes it off.
You can also try:
Chopped pecans
Mini chocolate chips
A drizzle of almond butter
Extra Greek yogurt
A few sliced bananas
Toasted coconut
A light drizzle of maple syrup
For the best crunch, add toppings right before serving.
How to store and meal prep this breakfast
Overnight oats are made for meal prep. You can prep one jar the night before, or make a few jars at once for the week.
Store the oats in an airtight jar or container in the refrigerator. For the best texture, eat them within 2 to 3 days. They may last a little longer, but the oats will continue to soften as they sit.
If you are making multiple servings, line up your jars and add each ingredient assembly-style. This keeps the measurements even and saves time.
A few meal prep tips:
Keep the toppings separate until serving.
Stir each jar before eating.
Add a splash of milk if the oats thicken too much.
Label jars if you make different flavors.
Use wide-mouth jars if you want more room for toppings.
You can eat these oats cold straight from the fridge. That gives them the most latte-like feel. If you prefer warm oats, transfer them to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in short intervals, stirring between each one. Add toppings after warming.
