Overnight Pumpkin Pie Oat Yogurt

Sick of pumpkin recipes?!  I hope not!  This may not be the end either – I might just have a few more pumpkin recipes I am working on.  This fall season I can not seem to get enough pumpkin.

Overnight oatmeal and muesli recipes have been increasing in popularity recently. I love the idea of making nutritious breakfast options in advance. These recipes are thus perfect for those of us with hectic morning schedules. For some muesli may be a new word – museli is a mixture of cereals, nuts, and fruits typically served with milk for breakfast.  Today’s recipe is not quite a museli as it lacks both nuts and fruit, although both could easily be added.  I decided to keep it plain and simple and only add oatmeal to the pumkin and yogurt mixture. 

The most important addition to this recipe are the toppings!  I choose to go with pumpkin seeds and mini chocolate chips.  Numerous topping options are available – a few to name include nuts, seeds, chocolate, dried fruit, or fresh fruit.  So many options!
