Spiced Pumpkin Oats, Coconutty Toasted Nuts, and Cinnamon Crunchy Almond Butter

Spiced Pumpkin Oats, Coconutty Toasted Nuts, and Cinnamon Crunchy Almond Butter

Hello Friends!

If you have not jump in the “overnight oats in a jar” wagon you are missing hundreds of delicious and the easiest ways to eat oats!

-

Today I was reading the Magnolia Journal Magazine and they published 4 ways to make overnight oats: Honey Orange Chia, Cranberry Gingerbread, Maple Apple Crunch and Fruity Peanut Butter - this is NOT one of their recipes. They all look delicious but I did not have those ingredients so...

-

As usually happens when I am seeing food in TV or online - I immediately wanted an overnight oats without having to wait until tomorrow and with the ingredients I have at hand...

-

And here you have what I have created...

Spiced Pumpkin Oats

and I couldnt wait to eat them, hence I am not calling them “overnight oats”! 😁👏🥳

-

This oats in a jar came out creamy and delicious, with the flavors of a pumpkin pie and the fall! Even my boyfriend liked it and he is not easy to please.

- Is not even fair to call this a recipe cause I just mixed some ingredients in a jar, seasoned it with spices and a bit of sweetness, waited 15 minutes to allow to marinate and thickened, topped with crunchy and more flavorful mixtures and called it a “healthy snack”... you can call it whatever you want! -
