Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Rolled Oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats are best for overnight oats as they absorb liquid well and become creamy. Quick oats can be used but may turn mushy. If gluten-free, make sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
Milk: You can use any milk you like! Almond, soy, oat, or cow’s milk all work well. I personally prefer almond milk for its light taste, but coconut milk adds a nice creaminess too.
Greek Yogurt: Adding Greek yogurt makes the oats creamy and packs in protein. If you’re dairy-free or want a lower-calorie option, try coconut yogurt or simply omit it.
Chia Seeds: Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add fiber. If you don’t have chia seeds, you can substitute with flaxseeds, but they won’t thicken as much.
Peach: Fresh ripe peaches give the best flavor! If peaches aren’t in season, you can use canned peaches (in juice, not syrup) or frozen peaches—just thaw them first.
How Do I Get the Right Texture for Overnight Oats?
The key to achieving a perfect creamy texture is to let the mixture soak long enough. Here’s how:
- Combine oats, chia seeds, and dry ingredients first to ensure even distribution.
- Make sure to use enough liquid. The oats will absorb it overnight, so adjust as needed if you like them thicker or creamier.
- Mix well to avoid clumps. Fold ingredients gently to keep the oats light.
- In the morning, stir and add more milk if necessary to reach your desired consistency.
These tips will help you prepare creamy, delicious oats with ease! Enjoy your breakfast! 🍑
Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats
Ingredients You’ll Need:
Base Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt

How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe is super quick! It takes about 10 minutes to prep and then you just let it chill overnight (or at least 6 hours). The next morning, you’ll be ready to enjoy a delicious breakfast!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir these together so they’re evenly mixed.
2. Add the Wet Ingredients:
Next, pour in the milk and add the Greek yogurt (if using), vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey for sweetness. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined smoothly.
3. Fold in the Peaches:
Carefully fold the diced peach pieces into the mixture. This allows the sweet peach flavor to spread throughout the oats.
4. Transfer and Chill:
Transfer the oat mixture into a jar or container with a lid. Seal it tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours so the oats can soak and soften beautifully.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
The next morning, take the oats out and give them a good stir. If they seem thick, feel free to add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with extra fresh peach chunks for added flavor, and enjoy your Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats chilled!

Can I Use Frozen Peaches in This Recipe?
Absolutely! You can use frozen peaches—just make sure to thaw them first. The easiest way is to put them in the fridge overnight or let them sit at room temperature for a bit. Once softened, chop them up and add them to the oats for a delicious flavor!
How Long Do Leftovers Last?
Leftover overnight oats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If they thicken too much, just stir in a little extra milk before enjoying!
Can I Make This Recipe Vegan?
Yes, it’s simple! Just omit the Greek yogurt or substitute it with a plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt. Also, make sure to use maple syrup instead of honey for sweetness, and you’ll have a delicious vegan breakfast!
What Can I Add for Extra Flavor?
Feel free to get creative! Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for crunch, a scoop of nut butter for creaminess, or even a sprinkle of nutmeg for extra warmth. Dried fruit or a handful of granola can also give your oats a nice twist!
