Pumpkin season is in full swing and these overnight oats are a great way to start your day with delicious pumpkin flavor. The creamy oats paired with chia seeds, yogurt and pumpkin make for a filling breakfast to power you through the morning. I love adding an extra crunch on top of overnight oats and these candied, spiced pecans add rich fall flavor and a sweet, crunch. These super easy to make oats are like pumpkin pie in a jar.
