Peach Overnight Oats

Ingredients

For the Oats

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 cups milk of choice
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

For the Peach Layers

• 2 ripe peaches, diced
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped almonds or pecans, optional

Substitutions

• Honey and maple syrup can usually be exchanged in the same amount, although the flavor and moisture will change slightly.

Instructions

Step 1: Mix

Stir oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3: Layer

Divide half the oat mixture among four jars, add peaches, then add the remaining oats.

Step 5: Serve

Stir before eating and add a splash of milk if needed. Top with additional fresh diced peach, if desired, and the nuts.

Practical Notes

• The full overnight chill gives both the oats and chia seeds time to hydrate. Judge the consistency in the morning and add extra milk only then if you want it looser.
• Tossing the peaches with lemon before layering keeps their flavor bright and creates distinct fruit pockets instead of blending all of the peach into the oat base.

The Straightforward Peach Breakfast Version

This version keeps the flavor profile centered on oats and peach without trying to mimic a dessert. It is the simpler choice when you want a basic make-ahead peach breakfast.

How to Store Leftovers

Keep Peach Overnight Oats refrigerated in a covered container and use them within 3 to 4 days. Add fresh peach or any crunchy topping just before serving.

Ways to Serve
