Good Morning ! Its freezing here and I am so not ready for the cold yet!
I am always ready for cold overnight oats though
These Pump-Kined Up oats are a little more special with some “candy” on top 
Julie always makes peanut flour candy, so I decided to make sunwarrior protein candy!
* Protein Candy *
I made protein frosting, spread it on a plate, covered, and froze overnight!
In morning cut into pieces and top on your oats
Thank you Julie, you are a GENIUS!
Overnight Pumpkin Oats
1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1/2 cup pumpkin
Sprinkle these beauties in there too , the best friends to pumpkin oats
( I added maple syrup on top as well )
Oh and the black speckles on top of the oats you saw?
It was the Trader Joe’s Chocolate, Coffee, and Sugar Grinder sprinkles on top!
In case you care to know , last night’s dinner was a salad
Spinach Salad with veggies, grilled chicken tenders, and hummus
Today Anthony and I will be eating dinner at the house of these lovely peeps…..
My parents house!
Im so excited to be able to do dinner there, it has been forever, but now we are close to them again!
So happy to be back in PA 
Who loves Pumpkin oats and thinks that they make your oats MORE voluminous ?
They do for sure I think 
Have a great Sunday!

Oh Katy, so good! You will love it! : ) Happy Sunday!
I am a LITTLE jealous of the cold – I just can’t get into pumpkin yet because it’s still so HOT here! haha! Not complaining though – no snow for me this year
Oh yes I love pumpkin oats…I’m making everything pumpkin right now!! I hope you have a great dinner at your parents today!!!xoxo
Ooooh protein candy! I love it. I think I’m going to try this one!
AHHHH LOVER have so much fun with your family! I’m so jealous- I miss my parents and sisters sooooo much. I’m so excited for you!
The pumpkin shenanigans look DELISH! I just picked up some pumpkin at the store so maybe they’ll be my tomorrow AM breakfast!
Have a beautiful Sunday! Love you!
oh man, i miss my parents! haha! I always say that when I’m “older” I’m going to move down south, but I just don’t know if I could bear to be that far from them. I’m such a home body! It’s funny too, because high school I was anti-mom and dad. Now I can’t get enough of them!
here’s to a beautiful and love-filled sunday
Protein candy…love it! Cold overnight oats never go out of style…I don’t care how cold it is either
me either, I love the oats cold! Happy Sunday!
Hey just found your site, I’m also in Pitt and hating the rain. I’m going to have to try the peanut flour candy, and your recipe for the protein candy. If you get a chance try protein powder with coconut oil – it comes out like caramel.
Hey fellow pittsburgh friend ! Oh this rain stinks! I just got back from running an errand and do not want to go out again! haha!
Oh I will have to try that! Thanks for the tip! Thank you for stopping by too ; )
Have fun at your parents!
Sounds like it’s really nice to be back in PA!
it is nice to be back near family!
Happy Sunday love!
Have SO much fun lova
So adorable, I love fam!!
I am so sick of the cold already! AHH!
Pumpkin definitely makes oats more voluminous!
Love it! It makes pancakes more fluffy too if you add a small amount! Enjoy the time with your family! Sounds like a blast!
gahh we had the SAME breakfast! haha except i had peanut flour candy! once i tried making it with protein powder and it got all goopey and non frozen, i’m gonna have to try again because it totally worked for you!
Hey love! Thank YOU for the idea, seriously! Im going to do peanut flour candy this week, I bet its better!
I used sunwarrior, it worked!
