Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
- 1 cup milk of choice (240ml) – dairy, almond, oat, or preferred milk
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120g) – can substitute with dairy-free coconut yogurt
- 1 large fresh peach, diced
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Dice the peach: wash, pit, and dice into small ½ inch pieces. Set aside.
- Mix dry ingredients: combine oats, cinnamon, chia seeds (if using), and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Add wet ingredients: pour in milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until well combined with a thick but stirrable consistency.
- Fold in peaches: gently fold diced peaches into the oat mixture, reserving some for topping if desired.
- Portion and refrigerate: spoon mixture into mason jars or airtight containers, seal tightly, and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
- Morning stir and serve: stir oats gently before eating; add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with reserved peach slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey if desired.
Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; instant oats become mushy. Adjust sweetness based on peach ripeness. Chia seeds are optional for extra fiber and texture. Stir cinnamon with oats before adding liquids to avoid clumps. If peaches are very juicy, expect some separation—stir before eating. Can be served warm by heating briefly with milk.
