The history of pumpkin pie overnight oats is a long and winding one. It all started with the humble pumpkin, which has been a staple food in the Americas for centuries. Native Americans used pumpkins to make a variety of dishes, including soups, stews, and breads. They also dried and ground pumpkin seeds to make a flour that could be used to make pancakes and other baked goods. In the 17th century, European settlers arrived in the Americas and brought with them their own culinary traditions. One of these traditions was the pie, which quickly became a popular dessert in the colonies. Pumpkin pie was a natural fit for the colonists, as it was made with ingredients that were readily available in the New World. The first recorded recipe for pumpkin pie appeared in "American Cookery," a cookbook published in 1796. The recipe called for a simple mixture of cooked pumpkin, milk, eggs, and spices. Over time, the recipe for pumpkin pie evolved, and it became more common to add sugar and other sweeteners to the filling. In the 19th century, canned pumpkin became available, which made it even easier to make pumpkin pie. Today, pumpkin pie is a beloved dessert that is enjoyed by people of all ages.
