Notes

  • Sweetness: Adjust maple syrup to taste, or swap with honey, agave, or a sugar-free sweetener.
  • Milk options: Any milk works, dairy, almond, oat, soy, or coconut. For extra creaminess, use canned coconut milk.
  • Pumpkin puree: Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling (which contains added sugar and spices).
  • Texture: If you prefer a smoother pudding, blend the mixture after chilling until creamy.
  • Toppings: Try granola, cacao nibs, fresh fruit, or nut butter for extra flavor and crunch.
  • Spices: Customize with ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or a dash of ginger if you don’t have pumpkin spice.
  • Meal prep & storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. Perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts.
  • Make it dessert: Add whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for a festive fall treat.
