Peanut Butter Pumpkin Overnight Proats

Pumpkin peanut butter protein oats for one! Mix up these easy oats for a pumpkin and protein-packed breakfast that’s perfect for busy fall mornings.

This past weekend I had a plant re-potting party here at F&V.

M and I squatted on the deck and transferred my spider plant, split leaf philodendron, and aloe vera to bigger pots. 

Scooping dirt into ceramic pots and patting the earth around my plant babies was totally therapeutic. 

The move was inspired by my split leaf philodendron, which has grown at an exponential pace since I bought it on a whim from Whole Foods last year. 

Did you know that plants need to be moved to bigger pots about once a year for optimal health?

When I last repotted my philodendron it surprised me by exploding with happy green leaves and new vines. 

I mean, it makes sense that they need a pot that properly fits their expanding root system. 

Just like us, they need room to grow. 

Give yourself some room to grow by making breakfast in advance this autumn.

These Peanut Butter Pumpkin Overnight Proats are perfect to prep ahead for a fun fall breakfast. 

Pumpkin for Breakfast

Have you opened your first can of pumpkin yet?

You’re probably not surprised to hear that I have, with all of the recipe testing and stuff. 

If you’ve already got a can open, I’ve got a marvelous way to use the rest. 

Don’t have one open yet?

Well, this recipe is well worth rummaging for the can opener. 

It’s my current favorite fall breakfast, packed with plant-based protein, healthy carbs, and plenty of pumpkin and peanut butter. 

What Are Proats?

“But Lauren, what are “proats”?” 

I’m so glad that you asked. 

Proats are my shortened version of oats with protein. 

Protein oats. Pr-oats. Proats.

Get it? 

While oats are already a fantastic source of protein, I love mixing in a spoonful of protein powder to my oats for even extra plant-based power. 

Try it! 

I usually use vanilla protein powder here, but any flavor will do. 

I recommend anywhere for 1/2-1 TBSP for the best consistency. 

What You Need to Make Proats

Here’s what you need to make proats:

• gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats 
• chia seeds
• unsweetened almond milk
• pumpkin purée
• vanilla protein powder 
• pure maple syrup 
• cinnamon
• peanut butter
• pepitas
• Bob’s Red Mill Peanut Butter Homestyle Granola

That’s it!

How To Make Peanut Butter Pumpkin Overnight Proats

This Peanut Butter Pumpkin Overnight Proats are oh so easy to make.

Add the oats, chia seeds, almond milk, pumpkin purée, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, cinnamon, and peanut butter to a mason jar or storage container.

Stir everything to roughly combine, making sure to saturate the oats and the protein powder. 

Cover the mason jar and transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. 

How to Get the Perfect Consistency

In the morning, uncover your Peanut Butter Pumpkin Overnight Proats and test their texture. 

If they’re too thick, add a bit of almond milk. 

If they’re too thin, add another spoonful of chia seeds. 

Serve them immediately with more peanut butter, pumpkin seeds, and a few tablespoons of Bob’s Red Mill Peanut Butter Homestyle Granola!

Granola Is a Great Topping

If you’ve been following me for a while you know I love to serve my overnight oats with granola for some crunch.

Have you tried the new Bob’s Red Mill Peanut Butter Homestyle Granola yet?

They’re kind of amazing; made with whole grain oats, creamy peanut butter, and pure maple syrup.

The granola is also totally vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO certified with just 7 g of sugar per serving. 

The flavors of pumpkin and peanut butter pair so well together, so this granola is the perfect topper for these Peanut Butter Pumpkin Overnight Proats! 

Add 1-2 TBSP just before serving to echo the peanut butter flavor of these proats and some serious texture! 

How to Enjoy Peanut Butter Pumpkin Overnight Proats

Enjoy these Peanut Butter Pumpkin Overnight Proats as a quick and filling fall breakfast. 

I like this recipe served chilled straight from the fridge, but you can also pop it in the microwave for a warm cozy variation. 

Double or triple the recipe for  multiple servings throughout the week.

I love making 2-3 jars and spacing them out Monday-Friday for mornings when I don’t have much time to spend on breakfast.

As far as toppings, anything goes! 

For these photos I kept the toppings simple, but you can add anything you have on hand.

Some ideas are fresh berries, cacao nibs, apple chips, roasted peanuts, shredded coconut, etc. 

Just don’t forget the Bob’s Red Mill Peanut Butter Homestyle Granola! 

Enjoy!
