Maple Pumpkin Overnight Oats

A sweet, nourishing breakfast for busy mornings

Complete your cozy, hearty oats with your favorite toppings. I kept mine on theme with autumn using pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, nutmeg and granola with other yummy nuts and seeds!

The recipe:

• 3/4 cup rolled oats

• 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

• 1 tbs maple syrup

• 1/2 cup milk; cow or coconut are my favorites for this recipe

• 1/4 cup vanilla yogurt; I like Oikos for the extra protein

• 2 tbs pumpkin puree

All ingredients go into a pint size jar; mix well. Rest in fridge overnight and enjoy in the morning. Top with your favorite nuts and seeds, dried fruit, granola, extra spices, even honey!

Toppings great for extra breastfeeding support:

• chia seeds → packed with omega 3's, fiber, protein

• ground flaxseed → a known galactagogue + supports steady energy

• hemp hearts → full of healthy fats and plant based protein

• nut butters → creamy, nourishing and calorie dense for energy

• slivered almonds → rich in calcium and healthy fats

• pecans or walnuts → support healthy brain and hormone function

• sesame seeds → high in calcium and healthy fats, both supportive in lactation

• blueberries → antioxidants, help fight postpartum fatigue and brain fog

• strawberries → high in vitamin C for recovery

• banana → natural sweetness and potassium for hydration and muscle cramping

• dried apricots or figs → iron rich

• coconut flakes → adds healthy fats and a subtle sweetness

• pumpkin seeds → high in zinc and fats, great for recovery and immune function

• dark chocolate shavings → a little indulgence and magnesium for mood support!

So delicious and convenient! This recipe makes one serving, but its really easy to make many jars full to have a bulk stock ready to go!
