Instructions

Step 1: Cook the peaches

Simmer peaches, maple syrup, cinnamon, and lemon juice for 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until lightly thickened. Cool.

Step 2: Toast the crumble

Toast oats and pecans in a dry skillet for 2 minutes. Add maple syrup, butter, and cinnamon, then stir until fragrant and lightly crisp. Cool completely.

Step 4: Assemble the jars

Divide half the oat mixture among four jars, add peach compote, then top with the remaining oats. Reserve the crumble separately.

Step 6: Finish and serve

Stir each jar, add extra yogurt or milk if needed, and top with crumble and fresh peach pieces immediately before eating.

How to Store Leftovers

• Refrigerate covered oat jars for up to 4 days.
• Store the crumble in a separate airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• Add fresh peach garnish only when serving.

Serving Leftovers

• Serve cold, or microwave one jar without its lid in 30-second intervals until warm.
• Stir in extra milk before heating so the oats remain creamy.
• Add yogurt, fresh peaches, and crumble after warming.

Ways to Serve

• Coffee or tea
• A boiled egg
• Fresh berries
• Extra Greek yogurt

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using steel-cut oats without changing the method.
• Adding warm peach compote to the yogurt mixture.
• Storing the crumble inside the jar overnight.
• Skipping the final consistency adjustment with milk.
