Pumpkin Overnight Oats

Who doesn't love pumpkin everything this time of year?  Okay, I actually know a (very) few people who don't, but that means there is more of this delectable squash for the rest of us!  Now that the days are cooler, I relish waking up in the morning to these tasty pumpkin overnight oats.  They chase away the chill of autumn and leave me feeling full and indulgent at the same time. 

Ingredients:

1 cup multi-grain oats

2 tablespoons chia seeds

2 tablespoons almond meal

2 tablespoons flax seed meal

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ginger

1/8 teaspoon ground clove

3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup milk

1 can pumpkin puree

Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.  In a separate bowl, mix together all the wet ingredients until combined.  Then begin to add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients slowly, until thoroughly mixed.  Divide mixture evenly between 4 mason jars and let sit overnight in fridge.  You can top with Greek yogurt and a dusting of cinnamon if desired. Makes 4 servings.  Enjoy!
