My (Almost) Famous Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats!

It’s finally September, and you know what that means… PUMPKIN EVVVEEERRRRRYTHING. That’s right?I’m that #basic and I know it. In all seriousness though, pumpkin is hands down one of my favorite flavors of all time, so if I can find a way to sneak it into my recipes, I most certainly do.

Let me preface by saying this is definitely a by request post, thanks to a good friend of mine for talking up this recipe on his radio show (you know who you are ;)). While I knew this friend of mine had a slight obsession with overnight oats (and feet, I’m learning via his hilare morning show, Johnjay and Rich, that you should check out), I wasn’t sure how my fall-fave recipe would measure up to his typical top-notch cuisine. Turns out (praise the Lord) he loves it so much that he’s mentioned it a handful of times on both his morning radio show AND his personal social media pages…which has several of his fans begging for the low-down on this little pumpkin treat.

So, the exact recipe he uses was tailored to his macro/nutrition plan (so, Johnjay…don’t freak when you see this recipe is slightly different than yours), but below are the original men’s and women’s recipes for you to follow. For my carb cyclers out there (yes, you), this recipe will plug in perfectly to ANY day’s breakfast (high or low carb day).

Without further adieu, my (almost) famous Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats!

  1. What protein powder do you recommend? I am doing macros like Johnjay as well and I want to make your overnight oats. It sounds great!

    1. Hi Pam: Chris and Heidi recommend low-fat, low-carb powders with around 20 grams of protein per serving. Enjoy!

  2. I have been making overnight oats forever and only use water & vanilla extract. But I’m a little confused. I thought you could not eat nuts on a high carb day?

  3. Oh my gracious!!! I simply licked the spoon after stirring together the ingredients. I cannot wait until breakfast tomorrow!!

    1. I plugged my ingredients into my fitness pal and got different macros. Cal 385; fat 5; carbs 39 and fiber 7. I am most likely using different brands so it is worth figuring it out if possible 🙂

  4. I tried asking on Instagram with no luck but what protein powder? I really don’t like to go near the supplements but I value the Powell advice! Please help!

    1. Hi Katherine: Chris and Heidi recommend low-fat, low-carb protein powders with around 20 grams of protein per serving. 🙂

  5. When is Extreme Weight Loss going to be on again?
    I’ve been watching some of the repeats on TLC to get some encouragement. Miss you guys..

  6. If fatally allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, could we substitute unsweetened coconut milk and leave out the pecans and still have it work? TY 🙂
