Healthy Butterscotch Pumpkin Overnight Dessert Oats
I can’t believe this is healthy. It tastes like pure sin.
One bite and you’ll be hooked. It’ll feel like you’re “cheating” on your diet, even though you’re not straying one bit.
“This has got to be bad for me,” you say. But the little angel on your shoulder tells you otherwise… wait, that’s not an angel, that’s just the ingredient list! 😉
Healthy Butterscotch Pumpkin Overnight Dessert Oats
Ingredients
- ½ cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 1 scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
- 3 packets Natural Sweetener (stevia, Truvia, etc.)
- ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 1 cup 100% Pure Pumpkin Puree (canned)
- 3 tbs Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 1 tsp Molasses
- ¼ tsp Butterscotch Flavor
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the oats, protein powder, sweetener, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Stir in the pumpkin, then stir in the milk, molasses, and butterscotch flavor. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Enjoy in the morning!
Recipe Notes
Sprinkle with dried cranberries or pecans if you wish!
This breakfast bowl is pretty big, so look forward to a whole bunch of spoonfuls that look like this! I know what I’m making for breakfast all next week tomorrow 😉

With love and good eats,

You are on a roll lately, girl! (speaking of which… I bet a cinnamon roll cookie dough recipe would be awesome. Just saying ;)!!) Quick question: Where do you find butterscotch extract? Me want!
I linked it in the recipe 🙂
Amazon also sells other amazing brands (and other extracts/flavorings) and it’s usually cheaper online, as extracts can get expensive.
PS: GREAT COOKIE DOUGH IDEA!! That sounds amazing, actually, MORE than amazing. I’ll have to try that like, ASAP 😉

This looks amazing! I keep seeing overnight oats everywhere but I’ve never tried it (unless you count Muesli). I may have to try this one!
This looks wonderful. I’ve been wanting to make some overnight oats for a while, but it’s been so dreary and cold where I live that I’ve been sticking to warm. This will definitely be one of the first things I try when I finally take the plunge! Yummm.
I guess it’s easy for me to make overnight oats because it’s in the 90s here in AZ!
Hmmm… maybe wrap yourself in a cozy blanket and fuzzy slippers? (I think every morning should start like that)
Hope you like it when you try it 🙂
I’m SO impressed with this oatmeal – the color is phenomenal and the texture is just so creamy. The topping offers the perfect contrast for the pudding. So awesome… I am featuring this post in today’s Friday Food Fetish roundup (with a link-back and attribution), but please let me know if you have any objections. It’s a pleasure to be following your creations…
yep. making this. my boyfriend will swoon!
This is nothing short of….AMAZING! It really rang in the fall for me! Thank you so much for sharing a healthy comfort food….within moments of eating it this morning, I had shot your link off to 5 friends!!! 🙂
Aw thanks so much! Glad you liked it 🙂

I have just discovered your website, Absolutely love love love all your recipes! Thanks for so many good quality, healthy foods. Only problem for me is that we dont get canned pumpkin in Australia, im just using mashed instead
Hey! I tried this out and it was great! But will putting in a little more almond milk than needed affect the dessert?
Yay I’m so glad you liked it! A little more almond milk won’t hurt, it will just thin out the oatmeal a bit 🙂

This looks amazing and not too bad for you! Any chance the nutritional/calorie info for this is available??
I didn’t calculate the nutrition facts for this recipe but you can just check your products’ nutrition labels to find out. Every product is a little different so the labels vary depending on the company, serving size, etc 🙂

Can you substitute molasses with anything?
Honey, pure maple syrup, agave nectar, coconut sugar, sucanat… or you can omit it completely. I just like the flavor 🙂
