Overnight Oats that Taste Like Pecan Pie!

If you’ve ever made my Vegan Pecan Pie recipe, then you KNOW how much I love pecan pie. Especially around this time of year! The holidays make me want to turn everything into a pie flavor. From Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats to Apple Pie Protein Pancakes and Banana Coconut Cream Pie Oats, I could not be more obsessed.

These overnight oats are truly next level. The base Maple Cinnamon Overnight Oats are topped with a pecan pie overnight oats topping that makes them SO delicious. My kids even think they’re dessert! They have no idea that they secretly are full of protein and healthy ingredients. These oats are one of my favorite healthy fall breakfasts and I look forward to making them every year!

How to Make Maple Cinnamon Pecan Overnight Oats

With just 5 minutes prep time, you’ll have a healthy, cozy breakfast ready to grab straight from the fridge the next morning. Here’s how to make these easy Maple Cinnamon Pecan Overnight Oats:

1. Mix the Oats: Divide the rolled oats, almond butter, cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and milk into two jars (I love these pretty mugs for overnight oats! (opens in a new tab)).
2. Refrigerate Overnight: Give each jar a good stir, pop the lids on, and refrigerate overnight.
3. Add the Pecan Topping (Optional): In the morning, combine the almond butter, molasses, and brown sugar for a rich, pie-inspired topping. Microwave it for about 10-15 seconds to make it spreadable!
4. Top with Pecans & Enjoy: Spread the topping over the oats and sprinkle with pecan halves for a deliciously nutty crunch. So yummy!

Recipe Tips

Adjust Sweetness: If you like it extra sweet, add an extra drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of brown sugar to the oats.

Microwave for Warmth: For warm overnight oats, microwave the oats in a microwave-safe bowl for 30–45 seconds before adding the topping.

Nut Butter Swap: Feel free to swap almond butter for your favorite nut or seed butter (peanut, cashew, or sunflower seed) for a flavor twist.

Topping: Adjust the macros by adding a drizzle of almond butter and chopped pecans instead of using the entire topping, or feel free to just mix in chopped pecans and omit the topping altogether.

Topping Ideas

Mix up these pecan oats with these topping ideas for even more flavor and texture:

• Chopped walnuts or almonds

• Shredded coconut
