Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats
Pumpkin everything season has arrived. People are gaga over pumpkin everything from lattes to muffins, and I totally get it because I love it too, and Autumn is my favorite season. I have started making the pumpkin delicacies myself too. I had made a cake last weekend and had leftover pumpkin, so I decided I needed to do something with it...and it just happened to be perfect timing to include it in my overnight oats since I was putting those together. So, I made pumpkin spice overnight oatmeal. I figured the pumpkin would give me some extra goodness and nutrients as well as being delicious so it was a win win all around. They were delicious! Like pumpkin pie met my bowl of overnight oatmeal. I think I will be making these any time I have leftover pumpkin this season. If you have leftover pumpkin...now you know what to do with it!
