Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oatmeal

In mama land, sometimes your own lunch takes the back seat to your kiddo's lunch. And sometimes your coworkers will point and laugh at your lunch and ask if you accidentally brought your kid's lunch. That was me yesterday, lol. But I most certainly had intentionally packed this deliciousness!! I mean if breakfast for dinner is amazing, breakfast for lunch has to be equally as great, right??

In reality, breakfast for lunch usually means that we are super low on groceries--the fall has been so ridiculously busy. Regardless of how empty the pantry looks, I can almost always scrape together the ingredients for a quick overnight oats recipe. My standby contains the same first three ingredients, but doesn't have the same fall flavors.



The Most Perfect Fall Overnight Oats Ever
(aka Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats)

Ingredients:
1/3 cup traditional oats
1/3 cup almond milk
1 tbsp plain greek yogurt
2 tbsp canned pumpkin
1 tspn raw honey (maple syrup would be a yummy sub, too!!)
1/4 tspn pumpkin pie spice
1/8 tspn cinnamon
2 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts

Method:
Combine all ingredients except nuts in a container with a lid. Store in fridge overnight (but as few as 5 or 6 hours works fine too!). Stir in nuts, and enjoy!!
