Are you always on the lookout for an easy breakfast? So am I… that’s why these overnight oats pies are such a treat. They’re so easy to make (you just prep them the night before!) and they taste great in seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice and white chocolate cranberry! They’ll only take you about 5 minutes to toss them together at night, and about 2 minutes to finish up in the morning. It’s totally no-fuss, and that’s the best!
To start on a pumpkin spice mini pie, you’ll first prepare your overnight oats– you’ll need one cup of pumpkin spice yogurt (any of your favorite brands will work just fine), a cup of steel cut oats, a tablespoon of chia seeds, and some walnuts to taste in a jar. Close it and place it in the refrigerator overnight.
For the white chocolate cranberry flavor, you’ll put a cup of your favorite white chocolate or vanilla yogurt in a jar, a cup of oats, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and some white chocolate chips and dried cranberry to taste… give it a stir, put the lid on, and pop it in the fridge overnight.
In the morning, spoon your oats into individual pie crusts– one mason jar of the above recipe will fill 3 mini pies, giving you 6 pies between the two jars– enough to feed a family! If you can’t eat those 3 mini pies in a morning at your house, just scoop out what you need and place it back in the fridge; just be sure you use the overnight oats within 48 hours or they’ll start to spoil.
Top your mini pie with additional cranberries, nuts, and white chocolate if you feel like it, and add some whipped topping, too! Enjoy!
