Don't Sleep On Canned Pumpkin For Easy And Flavorful Overnight Oats
By Camryn Teder
Canned pumpkin is a versatile ingredient, so you shouldn't limit its use to simple pumpkin pie or bread recipes because it's also great for elevating overnight oats.
Overnight oats become extra luxurious and creamy after a night in the fridge, and canned pumpkin can elevate those textures tenfold.
The rich ingredient brings an extra velvety texture to overnight oats, and when it's all said and done, it's like having dessert for breakfast.
You can even add nutmeg, cinnamon, and espresso powder to your canned pumpkin overnight oats, making it reminiscent of the cherished pumpkin spice latte.
Whipped cream, chopped nuts, and cubes of roasted butternut squash are also fun and colorful additions and an excellent flavor complement to pumpkin.
Canned pumpkin is also low in calories and a great source of fiber. One serving offers 250% of the daily recommended dose of Vitamin A.
