So, what are pumpkin overnight oats?

Overnight oats are just another way to make oatmeal. You’re probably used to oats served warm from the stove. Which is how I am use to eating them too (cooked on the stove top in milk or water and served warmed)! But, overnight oats are made using a non-cook process. Overnight oats are soaked in milk and stored in the fridge overnight. The overnight soaking process breaks down the oats making them very soft and enjoyable.
