  7. Cool completely. Leave undisturbed for 45–60 minutes, or until completely cool. Break into chunks, then gently mix in the chopped dates and raisins.
  8. Store. Transfer to an airtight container. Keep at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

  • 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin purée
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cups unsweetened oat milk or milk of choice
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup adjust to taste

  5. Assemble and serve. Divide the overnight oats into five portions. Top each with diced apples and approximately 1½ tablespoons of pepitas. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon if desired.
  6. Enjoy! Serve chilled or gently warm the oats before adding the apple and pepita toppings.
