PUMPKIN OVERNIGHT OATS
What would autumn be without a pumpkin-flavored breakfast? Enter, the 4Q Pumpkin Overnight Oats. Just as delicious, nutritious, and satisfying as our regular overnight oats, but with a twist to give it all the cozy fall vibes.

1/4 cup rolled oats
1 tbsp chia seeds (or 1 tsp chia + 1 tsp hemp hearts + 1 tsp ground flaxseed)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp nutmeg
dash of allspice or cloves
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 cup milk (either 2% or whole cow’s milk or unsweetened alt milk)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1 tbsp natural nut butter (cashew butter works really well here!)
1 serving fresh fruit
DIRECTIONS:
Mix oats, chia seeds (or the chia/hemp/flax combo), cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, allspice, salt, milk, water, and pumpkin puree in a container and let it sit in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight.
