Print Recipe

A comforting and nutritious fall breakfast combining pumpkin puree, chai-spiced brewed tea, and maple-glazed pecans soaked overnight for a warm, cozy flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree (120g)
  • 2 chai tea bags (brewed strong)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240ml) (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground cardamom (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup pecans (60g), roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp butter or coconut oil (for toasting pecans)

Instructions

  1. Brew the chai tea: Bring 1 cup (240ml) of water to a boil, then steep the 2 chai tea bags for 5-7 minutes until strong and fragrant. Remove the bags and let the tea cool slightly.
  2. Toast the pecans: In a small skillet, melt 1 tbsp of butter or coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped pecans and 1 tbsp of maple syrup. Stir frequently for 3-4 minutes until pecans are glossy and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  3. Mix the oats: In a medium bowl or jar, combine 1 cup (90g) rolled oats, ½ cup (120g) pumpkin puree, the brewed chai tea, and 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice.
  4. Add spices and flavor: Stir in 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground ginger, ¼ tsp ground cardamom (if using), 1 tsp vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and 2 tbsp maple syrup. Mix well so spices are evenly distributed and pumpkin is fully incorporated.
  5. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the bowl or jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. Serve: In the morning, stir the oats well. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with the maple-glazed pecans.
  7. Optional garnishes: Sprinkle extra cinnamon, drizzle more maple syrup, or add a dollop of Greek yogurt for creaminess and protein boost.

Notes

Brew chai tea stronger than usual to ensure flavor after soaking. Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Toast pecans carefully to avoid burning. Prep oats the night before for best results. Pecans can be prepared ahead and stored separately to maintain crunch. Variations include vegan substitutions, extra protein additions, and nut-free options.
