Kid-Friendly Recipe: Pumpkin Overnight Oats

What's fall without a little pumpkin spice! 🎃

We asked ThePlantPoweredParents to create a recipe inspired by last year's limited-edition Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie blend. Let us tell you—it definitely fills that pumpkin-shaped void!

These pumpkin overnight oats are a great breakfast option for kids and adults alike. Prepare a batch in minutes, and then you've got a satiating breakfast for the next day (or the whole week) ready in the fridge.
