I had leftover fresh peaches, so I added them to my overnight oats.
Peach overnight oats have a creamy texture and fruity taste, and they are incredibly simple to whip up and perfect for meal prep. I love to prepare this dish at night and enjoy a hassle-free breakfast in the morning.
Peach Overnight Oats Recipe
Honestly, This recipe adds flavor to oatmeal that would otherwise be considered boring. They also have a thick, chewy texture, creamy consistency and a nice fruity taste.
I find this recipe perfect for busy mornings when I do not have much time to prepare breakfast. It allows me to wake up in the morning with a healthy meal that is ready to eat.
You may also meal prep this overnight oat days in advance to avoid stressing about what you will eat every morning.
It is also flexible and adaptable because I can add toppings or substitute peach for any other fruit.
You'll Need
Greek yogurt: I use Greek yogurt because it adds a thick, creamy texture to my overnight oats.
Milk. I use whole milk to make the recipe creamier. You can use the milk of your choice; if you like to make this recipe vegan, use non-dairy milk, such as soy milk or almond milk.
Honey. I prefer to use honey to bring a sweet taste to the dish. You can use maple syrup, stevia or sugar.
Vanilla bean paste. It adds a sweet scent and flavor, you can use vanilla extract instead.
Chia seeds. When mixed with liquids in this recipe, it develops a gelatinous coating that thickens the overnight oats.
Rolled oats. I like to use rolled oats over quick-cooking oats because they absorb the liquid gradually, becoming tender without becoming mushy, creating a superb texture for my overnight oats.
Ground cinnamon. I use only ½ teaspoon to flavor the mixture.
Salt. I add only a pinch to enhances and balances other flavors.
Peach. I highly recommend using fresh ripe peaches, but you can use frozen peaches. However, you will have to defrost them first. You can also use canned peaches.

Recipe FAQs
The consistency of this meal is determined by the amount of liquid used and the decision to use frozen or fresh fruits. A thick creamy consistency is preferred, and it can be achieved by using less liquid and fresh fruit.
The name of this meal suggests that the dish is left to sit overnight. However, the significant implication of this name is that the oatmeal needs to sit for some time. You can leave it for at least 2 hours, but it is ideal if you let it stay overnight.
