Notes
*Note on SweetnessIf you use plain Greek yogurt you may need to increase the amount of maple syrup to 6 TBS if you like your overnight oats super sweet. I really enjoy these made with plain yogurt and only 4 TBS syrup because I like them a little tangy!Ingredient Substitutions
VanillaGreek Yogurt. You can use your favorite yogurt variety and it doesn't have to be Greek yogurt. You can also use dairy-free yogurt.
Pumpkin puree. Both canned and homemade puree works perfectly in this recipe. Sweet potato puree also tastes great.
Maple Syrup. Honey is a great substitute for maple syrup. Taste and adjust the sweetener to your liking.
Milk. I used whole milk in this recipe, but any milk variety works well. Just be aware that a milk with a lower fat content will result in less-creamy overnight oats. Dairy-free milk can be used as well.
Oats. You can use any variety of oats you wish including old-fashioned, rolled, quick-cooking and steel cut. My personal favorite is old-fashioned oats.
Pumpkin Pie Spice. Use store bought or make your own with this recipe:
