As a mom of two little girls, let’s just say I’m never NOT going to want convenient, make ahead breakfast options like overnight oats (translation: mornings are chaotic, haaaaalp).

While there’s nothing novel about this trend and you’ll find plenty of recipes out there, I’ve spent years tweaking mine so they’re rich in gut healthy and hormone balancing nutrients that keep blood sugar and energy stable throughout the day (aka no crashes or cravings mid-morning).

Not only that, but the texture and flavor is on point (aka you’re not just eating a bowl of cold mush) especially with this Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats version.

It’s kind of like eating leftover Thanksgiving dessert for breakfast, minus any negative side effects. Instead, you’ll be filling your body with the building blocks your gut health needs to thrive, which directly impacts your hormonal health as a result.

It’s basically the best way to have your pie, and eat it too.

Snag the recipe and details below.

GUT HEALTHY PUMPKIN PIE OVERNIGHT OATS INGREDIENTS

+ GLUTEN-FREE ROLLED OATS 

Rich in a prebiotic fiber called beta glucan that feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut, enhancing your microbiome’s ability to make more nutrients, optimize digestion, relieve constipation, metabolize fats, regulate blood sugar, and reduce inflammation.

+ PUMPKIN

Pumpkin and other types of starchy gourds (i.e. butternut squash, delicata etc.) work to increase the production of butyrate, an essential short-chain fatty acid that keeps our gut lining healthy.

+ CHIA SEEDS

High in omega-3 fatty acids that lower gut inflammation as well as soluble fiber that works to slow digestion, helping to keep blood sugar stable (key for hormone balance) and promote a feeling of satiety.

PUMPKIN PIE OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE SWAPS

+ TO MAKE PROTEIN-RICH PUMPKIN PIE OVERNIGHT OATS

I love mixing in this flavorless collagen brand, which is rich in gut-healing compounds like glutamine, glycine, collagen and proline that reduce intestinal inflammation and support your thyroid gland.. **Use my code SOGREEN10 to save. 

+ TO MAKE GLUTEN-FREE PUMPKIN PIE OVERNIGHT OATS

While oats are naturally gluten-free, many are processed in facilities with gluten, contaminating them in the process, so you want to make sure you’re purchasing a certified gluten-free brand.

+ TO MAKE EXTRA CREAMY + GUT-HEALTHY PUMPKIN PIE OVERNIGHT OATS

Try stirring in or topping your overnight oats with full-fat coconut or greek yogurt for extra creaminess and gut-healthy probiotics.

PUMPKIN PIE OVERNIGHT OATS GUT HEALTH TIPS

+ PURCHASE SPROUTED OATS

Sprouting  decreases the level of phytic acid, an enzyme inhibitor that can block the absorption of nutrients and cause poor digestion. You can rinse and soak oats at home prior to cooking, or save time by purchasing it sprouted. I love this brand.

+ OPT FOR BPA-FREE CANNED PUMPKIN (OR ROAST YOUR OWN!)

BPA, which can be found in aluminum and other canned goods has been shown to have a negative impact on digestive health, including an increase of colon permeability (aka leaky gut) so be sure to opt for a BPA-free brand when purchasing.

+ TRY TOPPING WITH SEED-CYCLING GRANOLA

While not a requirement by any means, I love topping my overnight oats with seed cycling granola for an extra cozy taste, crunchy texture, and additional gut-healthy + hormone balancing benefits!
