2 tbsp maple syrup or honey

Roasted pecans (optional, for topping)
Instructions

In an 8 oz Mason jar, mix pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and 1 tsp of maple syrup or honey until smooth.

Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp of sweetener. Mix well to ensure oats are fully soaked.

Notes

Roasting pecans enhances flavor and crunch.
