Chai Tea Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

A delicious blend of warming chai tea spices and sweet pumpkin pie flavors come together to create a healthy but dessert like breakfast treat!

Course Breakfast, Dessert
Servings 4 parfaits

Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk of choice I used almond milk
  • 6 black chai tea bags
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 star anise pods
  • 1 3/4 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 cup your favorite granola

Instructions

  1. In a sauce pan, combine the milk, cinnamon sticks, and star anise pods and bring to a simmer. You want the mixture to become very hot but not fully boiling. Remove from heat and add tea bags and allow the tea bags to seep for at least 10 minutes. Strain milk and allow to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the chai infused milk, pumpkin, spices, and salt. Add in the oats and stir until well-combined. Allow the oat mixture to set up in fridge overnight.**
  3. (The oats set overnight by absorbing the chai pumpkin mixture, which allows them to become plump and softer).
  4. Take a small mason or wreck jar and add 1/4 cup granola to the bottom. Add a large scoop of the overnight oats. Top with whipped cream and pecans. Repeat until all of the oat mixture is used - it should make about 4 parfaits.
  5. Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

If the oats seem too thick in the morning, you can simply add a splash more milk to help thin them out.
