Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)

1/4 cup dried fruits (like raisins or cranberries)

Fresh fruits for topping (like sliced banana or apple)

A sprinkle of chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, canned pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Add the chopped nuts and dried fruits to the mixture. Give it another gentle stir to ensure they are evenly distributed.

Transfer the muesli mixture into airtight containers or jars. Seal them well and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours). This allows the oats to soak up the flavors and soften.

In the morning, give the muesli a good stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

Serve the muesli in bowls and top with fresh fruits and a sprinkle of chia seeds if desired. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature!
