Pecan Pie Overnight Oats Ingredients

• Organic Gluten-Free Rolled Oats: Rolled oats, also known as old fashioned oats, are the best kind of oats to use for overnight oats, because they absorb the liquid the best. However, if you only have quick oats on hand, you can use them too!
• Pecan Butter: Pecan butter is a must for this pecan oatmeal recipe! But almond butter will work as well!
• Organic Pure Maple Syrup: To sweeten up your pecan pie oats. I recommend real maple syrup.
• Organic Ceylon Cinnamon: To spice up and infuse this oats recipe with those warming pie flavors
• Organic Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk: Any non-dairy milk will work. I personally used organic unseewetend almond milk in this recipe.
• Organic Ground Flax Seeds: Loaded with nutrients, high in omega-3 fats, rich in dietary fiber, and you can’t even taste them. They are completely optional, so no problem if you don’t have them…yet!

How to Make Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are probably the easiest and fastest breakfast to make. Thus, they’re the perfect breakfast for when you’re on the go. All it takes is few easy steps to prepare this Pecan Pie Overnight Oats. What is more, is that it’s way easier to make compared to a homemade pecan pie.

• To begin, in a medium sized bowl, add the non-dairy milk, cinnamon, pecan butter, pure maple syrup, and ground flax seeds. Mix well until you achieve pecan butter milk.
• Mix the oats and pecan milk together in the mixing bowl.
• Cover or transfer to a jar and place in fridge overnight.
• The next morning, top with toasted pecans, a spoonful of pecan butter, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

Tips for Making this Overnight Oats Recipe Perfectly

Overnight oats are easy to make, but be sure to follow these tips to ensure a breakfast treat.

• Use organic gluten-free rolled oats for a chewy texture or quick oats for a softer texture.
• For preparation, mix this recipe in large bowl, because it’s easier to stir.
• Be sure to mix all the dry and wet ingredients together before adding the rolled oats.
• You can use any kind of nut butter, such as almond butter, creamy peanut butter, hazelnut butter, or whatever nut or seed butter that you have on hand.

Overnight Oats Toppings

Although toppings are optional, they’re a great way to add texture, more nutrients, and flavors to the oats. Some chopped up toasted pecans are absolutely amazing here – they add some crunch and perfectly complement the sweet potato flavor! A sprinkle of cinnamon will give the oats an extra spice. I also like to add a spoonful of pecan butter for some extra creaminess. And if you want to make these indulgent, drizzle on a bit of maple syrup!

• Fresh Organic Berries: blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, cherries, etc.
• Organic Chia Jam
• Organic Banana Slices
