Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond milk or any milk of your choice

1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)

1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins

Fresh fruit for topping (e.g., banana slices, apple chunks)

A sprinkle of cinnamon (for serving)

Instructions

Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Add Creaminess: If you're using Greek yogurt, fold it into the mixture until smooth and creamy. This step is optional, but it adds a lovely richness to the muesli.

Incorporate Fruits and Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped nuts and dried cranberries (or raisins) into the oat mixture, ensuring they're evenly distributed.

Prep for Overnight Soaking: Transfer the mixture into a glass jar or an airtight container. Seal tightly and refrigerate overnight (or at least for 4-6 hours) so the oats can absorb the liquid and flavors meld together.

Serve: The next morning, give the muesli a good stir. You can top it with fresh fruit like banana slices or apple chunks and a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.

Enjoy: Dig in and savor your cozy autumn breakfast!
