Honeynut Squash Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are one of our favorite forms of self-care. A perfect little package in the fridge, ready-to-eat, and crystal clear evidence that last-night you really loves morning you and wants to make your day easy and delicious.

We mean, come on.

Not only that, but overnight oats are comforting, nutritious, yummy, energy-packed, and super adaptable. Although this recipe requires a touch more effort, slicing a small squash and roasting it while cooking dinner or doing your bedtime skincare routine really takes minimal effort. It’s a great way to get more nutrient-packed squash into your diet (butternut squash is a great source of fiber and also has a low glycemic index, which means the carbs are digested more slowly).

Recipe Type:Breakfast

Dietary Info:Gluten Free and Vegan Option

Serving Size: 2

Prep Time:10 minutes

Cook Time:30 minutes

Total Time:40 minutes

Ingredients:

1 honeynut squash
1 teaspoon ghee, grass-fed, or vegan butter
Sprinkle of cinnamon
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/2 cup organic rolled oats
3/4 cup Aroy-D pure coconut milk, or canned coconut milk, well shaken
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425° F.
2. Slice the honeynut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out and discard the guts.
3. Place the halves cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Add 1 teaspoon of your preferred butter and a sprinkling of cinnamon to the hollow center of the squash.
5. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
6. Once cool, separate the flesh from the outer peel, and place the flesh in a bowl.
7. Mix until creamy using a hand blender or mashing with a fork, adding the maple syrup as you blend. (Honeynut is the sweetest squash, but feel free to add more maple syrup to taste and a dash of coconut milk if needed to blend evenly.)
8. In a separate bowl, combine the oats with the milk and the chia seeds.
9. Let them sit for 10 minutes or so until the mixture thickens up a bit.
10. Swirl in as much squash puree as you like. One squash can be used for two servings of overnight oats. You can fully incorporate the squash or leave it partially mixed.
11. Top with the pumpkin seeds and any other toppings of choice, like blueberries, nut butter, coconut flakes … the list is endless!
