Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup almond milk (or milk of choice), unsweetened
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon optional nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (honey or maple syrup)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 medium diced peach (fresh or canned)
- Small pinch of salt
- Optional Toppings:
- Extra peach slices
- Dash of cinnamon
- More Greek yogurt
- Honey or maple syrup drizzle
- Chopped nuts, like pecans or almonds
Instructions
- Combine the oats and liquids: In a jar or bowl, mix together ½ cup of rolled oats, ½ cup of almond milk, and ½ cup of Greek yogurt. Give it a good stir so everything is well combined. You’ll already start to see that creamy texture forming, which is a good sign.
- Add the flavorings: Stir in ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg if you’re using it, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 1-2 tablespoons of your chosen sweetener, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. A tiny pinch of salt is optional, but it really enhances the flavors, especially if your yogurt is unsweetened.
- Fold in the peaches: Gently fold in the diced peach. This is where the magic happens! The peaches will infuse their natural sweetness into the oats as they sit overnight.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours. During this time, the oats and chia seeds will absorb the liquid, creating a thick, pudding-like texture.
- Serve and top: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they’re too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with extra peach slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or even some chopped nuts for added crunch.
Notes
These overnight oats will keep well in the fridge for up to three days. Just make sure they’re stored in an airtight container. If they get too thick, you can add a splash of milk to loosen them up.
If you want to enjoy them warm, transfer the oats to a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 30-45 seconds, stirring halfway through. Just be careful not to overheat, as it can make the yogurt curdle a bit.
