  3. If using, fold in mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.
  • Add shredded coconut, flaxseed, or protein powder for variations.

  • Serve chilled or at room temperature—no reheating needed.
  • Use fresh pumpkin purée if it’s thick and well-drained.
