Pumpkin Pie Spice Overnight Oats with Cinnamon Pears

Thick and creamy overnight oats filled with pumpkin pie spices perfect for a quick and easy breakfast. Serve with sticky and fruity cinnamon baked pears for a juicy and wholesome combination that is great this time of year (or any!).

My love for oats continues along with my current obsession with anything and everything pumpkin pie spiced – it is October, after all. With Halloween, thanksgiving and other pumpkin-themed recipes coming, I wanted to put my DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend to another use. Breakfast is the perfect opportunity to start your day with something that tastes like dessert – warming cinnamon aromas and a creamy oat base. Like any overnight oat recipe, start by soaking your oats in some plant-based milk overnight to allow the oats to swell and turn really creamy and plump. I add in some chia seeds for added fibre, protein and thickness as well as some raw quinoa grains. I love adding little extras to my jars for a real boost of nutritious goodness – plus the texture is great. Stir in a little seasonal pumpkin pie spices and leave to soak.

The cinnamon pears are equally as simple and rely on fresh, juicy pears, cinnamon and some caramel-rich coconut sugar. Toss the pieces together and bake for 20 minutes until soft.

I love to serve these Pumpkin Pie Spice Overnight Oats with Cinnamon Pears with creamy, cooling vegan yoghurt (I like coconut or almond), lots of nutty-rich almond butter and fresh raspberries. The possibilities are endless. Serve these with Chocolate Chai Peanut Butter, other fruits, some crunchy Chai Spiced Crunchy Granola and anything your taste buds desire.
