Champlainers know how to stay warm, cozy, and nourished (body and soul) during the cold, dark winter months. See what we’ve been cooking, eating, and drinking below!
Mix it up the night before. Put it in a mason jar. Give it few shakes. Store overnight in the refrigerator. Warm it up in the morning. You can play around with lots of flavor combinations: mocha, chocolate strawberry, apple pie, nut butter and banana, etc. Here is a fall/winter favorite: Pumpkin Pie 1. Rolled oats: I recommend using rolled oats (gluten free if you want) in order to get the perfect, creamy texture. 2. 1/4 cup Greek yogurt: I used organic plain Greek yogurt for a little boost of protein and to keep the oats creamy. Trust me, the yogurt is necessary. 3. 2-3 TBS Chia seeds: I like adding chia seeds for a boost of healthy fats and to help firm up the creaminess. 4. 1/4 cup Pumpkin puree: please don’t use pumpkin pie mix! Opt for real pumpkin here. I buy canned pumpkin because of the convenience, but you can also make your own with this tutorial. 5. 1/4-1/2 cup Almond milk: I add some almond milk to get the right consistency, but you can use any milk you’d like. Use to replace or to combine with appropriate amount of water for your serving of oats 6. 1-2 TBS Maple syrup: we’re naturally sweetening the pumpkin overnight oats with a bit of pure maple syrup. 7. 1-2 tsp. Vanilla extract: for some additional flavor. 8. Cozy spices/pumpkin pie spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and ground ginger photo and recipe from https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/pumpkin-pie-overnight-oats/
