As the leaves begin to change and the crisp autumn air settles in, it's time to embrace the cozy flavors of the season while also supporting our hormonal health.

In phase 1 of seed cycling, we focus on the mighty pumpkin and flax seeds, and what better way to enjoy them than with a comforting and nutritious breakfast like Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats? Not only does pumpkin bring its delightful flavor to the table, but it also offers a host of hormonal balancing benefits, while the warming spices in this recipe help nurture your womb as the cooler temperatures arrive. So, let's dive into this delightful and health-conscious fall recipe that'll keep you feeling warm and balanced all season long.

INGREDIENTS: 

- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons ground pumpkin and flax seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts (optional, for garnish)
- Freshly whipped cream (optional, for indulgence)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, ground flax seeds, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup or honey, almond milk, and vanilla extract.

2. Stir all the ingredients until well combined, making sure the pumpkin puree is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

3. Seal the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator to chill overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the flavors and soften.

4. In the morning, give your Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats a good stir. If the oats have thickened too much, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.

5. To serve, top your oats with chopped nuts for an extra crunch and a dollop of freshly whipped cream if you're in the mood for an extra indulgent treat.

6. Enjoy your delicious and hormone-balancing Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats as a nourishing breakfast to kickstart your day with the warm and comforting flavors of fall.
