Overnight pumpkin oats in a jar – minus the nut butter. Just an empty ole jar. I missed the sticky sides! But I made up for it with buckwheat crunch.
The Mix
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1/3 cup plain yogurt
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup pumpkin!
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Pinch salt
- Splash vanilla
- Half banana
- 1 tbsp raisins
This AM: Lots of granola!
[OK, ok, I’ll admit I added a scoop of peanut butter halfway through because I missed it so much!]
Our coffee pot sure is convenient on mornings when we have a full house
Filler up for the day!
Let us all pause, and remember
Matt and I are biking to the farmer’s market, then getting some kind of exercise.. it’s only 48* outside!
How much pumpkin is in there…you missed the star ingredient!?
LOL I was curious about the amount of pumpkin too. I made pumpkin voo this week and couldn’t get the proportions quite right.
Wow! 48* sounds amazing! Have fun.
That sounds like one freakin amazing jar of oats..oh my!
Do you like the pumpkin in overnight oats better or stove cooked?
Cooked better 🙂
I will have to make them that way tomorrow to try!
I decided whenever you and Matt open Great Harvest you should make it unqiue and have an oatmeal bar where people could get all of your unique toppings and ideas! That would be a big hit!
That would be fun even if only I ate them!!
I actually slept in this morning, so you are way ahead of me! Those oats…there are no words. I am still waiting on pumpkin here! Have fun and enjoy the ride!
Those oats look absolutely delicious! Have a great day at the Farmer’s Market, sounds like fun even though it’s 48 degrees outside! 🙂
I just woke up and I wish I had breakfast waiting for me 🙂
48? outside sounds amazing. I hope you have a wonderful day of remembrance.
It’s cool here too – I love this weather!
If it starts being 48 deegrees, I think I’d need to crawl back into bed until it warms up.
I can’t wait to try some of your granola. And by the way, I’m loving your photography skills!
Thanks 🙂
Aw, I’m so sad. I looked everywhere yesterday for pumpkin and no find. So instead, I have oatmeal w/ fresh off the tree mango, dried pineapple and almonds. Tastey, but not Fallish (but it’s freakin hot here in FL!). I think I’ll have to indulge in a pumpkin beer later 🙂
Cute yummy breakfast! Wow it’s cold there.
*laughs* I saw that first photo and thought “wow, I wonder what’s going on with the light there? The oats look so yellow!” As an Australian without access to canned squash and pumpkin, I keep forgetting that Autumn in America means pumpkin oats that I have to be envious of! 😛
Oh my! I’m salivating at the sight of those oats. They look incredible!
wow 48 degrees??? gives me the chills just thinkin about it.
Remembering 9/11!
It was 42 degrees here yesterday morning, but I live in Alaska, so that’s to be expected. However, I’m surprised it is that cool where you live! I’m sure it will warm up a lot more where you live!
So important to remember!!
And what a beautiful temperature. I love fall. Although I don’t love when that temp is the high. LOL
Your oats always look so incredibly delicious. I always want to eat them off the page 🙂
Oh my gosh – 48 degrees….I love it. Perfect temperature for pumpkin oats. Beautiful breakfast jar.
9/11 Never Forget.
Isn’t this cold weather wonderful!?
Bring it on, Fall!
48 degrees?!?! Shut the front door! I just finished running 15 miles in 83 degree Atlanta heat. Oh, Lordy, I wish it would have been 48 degrees. Heck! I would have taken 68 degrees! 😉
Kath,
I have a weird question! I love your MIL’s belt from last night’s post. Do you know where she got it?!!
She says it’s from a boutique in Charlotte behind Fresh Market!
Found it!

Hip Hip Hooray for cool, fall mornings!
I can’t believe it’s only 48* outside! I’m so not ready for fall to be here yet! :/
But on a brighter note, the pumpkin OIAJ look legit!
I wish it was 48* here!! It’s going to get up to 91 in GA today 🙁 Oh well, I can embrace fall early through your blog 🙂
so jealous of the weather 🙁 i’m craving fall like i’m craving a glass of milk after a pb&j
That’s it, I’m determined to find canned pumpkin this weekend one way or another.
the oats look particularly yum – i would’ve been excited for them this morning!
I about freaked out when I saw your breakfast. As I’m sitting here, I am eating what looks to be almost the same exact thing and it’s in the same size mason jar! I didn’t make overnight oats though but a layered yogurt + banana + pumpkin + spices + buckwheat + chia + walnut butter etc. Then I stirred it all up so it looks like a big orange mess…just like yours! Have you had walnut butter before? I made some the other day with cinnamon, vanilla + honey. It doesn’t get super smooth and creamy like some of the nut butters but it has this dough like consistency and awesome flavor I think you would love 🙂
I have had it, but it’s not my favorite. I just love peanuts and almonds.
Definitely jealous of your pumpkin and weather!! It’s already >90 here and it’s not even 11. Have a good morning!
So jealous of your weather/farmer’s market right now! Cooler temps would make my run so much better today seeing as I slept in too late and its getting warmer by the minute.
I know you moved out of Charlotte, but I am seriously considering UNC Charlotte for grad school and I was wondering if you have any insight into what neighborhood/area I should move to. I’m looking to be relatively close to school and it would be nice to have a good walking community. Thanks so much for any advice!!
That’s a tough question. I’d recommend Dilworth, but it’s pricey and would involve a commute. The whole Lake Norman area (where I went to college) is really nice, but the traffic going north during rush hour can be a beast. I’d be happy to hash it out on the phone or G-chat sometime when you get more research done?
Thanks so much! You are so thoughtful and I’ll definitely take you up on that Gchat offer when I have things a bit more organized!
Yummmm! I had pumpkin vanilla oats this morning too… spectacular start to the day. 🙂
Have a great Saturday! 🙂
I can not believe it is only 48 there! I need to come there!
that’s funny- i always miss the peanut butter when i eat oatmeal out of the house
i always miss the peanut butter when i eat oatmeal out of the house so i’d probably add it also
i so want canned pumpkin now 🙁 alas, it’s nowhere to be found…
Biking to the farmers market IS exercise, haha 🙂 I know what you mean though! Have fun today! (Lovvveeeee the coffee, haven’t had any yet. Blah)
That looks so good – pumpkn is NOWHERE to be found around here!!!!
Pumpkin is the absolutely best! 😀
Only 48?!?!! It was 38 here when I woke up. I’m thinking hot breakfasts are back in full effect!
Kath,
Beautiful pictures! I am also a pumpkin fanatic. I love all things fall, actually. I am loving this weather! You inspired me to finally open up my monster can of Libby’s that I had been saving . . .
And I can’t wait to hear/read which pumpkin ales are best at the festival! (Dogfish’s was kinda dissapointing to me, and Blue Moon’s was just like regular beer to me . . .).
PS: Re: your “animals” post, there are BABY lion cubs at the National zoo. You have to see them!
Uber cuteness.
well…consider another convert, Kath! I started a blog. I never ever dreamed of considering it before I started following yours! (i’m still pinching myself) Thanks for the inspiration!
cathy breit
Yeah for cooler weather and oatmeal! This definitely is the best time of year. 🙂
Thank you for mentioning 9/11 🙂 <3
Jenn
Dang, OIAJ with no nut butter? That seems like a sin to me! lol. 😛
Looks like a lot of good orange pumpkin in those oats.
Thank you for the granola recipe ~ made it today and it is great!!!
