    You will love these delightful peach overnight oats for your upcoming week’s breakfast. Creamy, refreshing, and flavorful, these overnight oats with peaches are so easy to make and taste like peach pie! You’ll want to make them again and again!

    Overnight oats are one of my favorite breakfasts to prepare once the weather warms up. It’s cool, refreshing, and doesn’t require me to cook in the morning! You’ll definitely want to make these on repeat once you take your first bite.

    Why You’ll Love This Recipe

    • I love using ripe, juicy peaches in the summer. There are always peaches on sale once summer hits, but this peach overnight oats recipe can easily be made all year long with frozen peaches.
    • It’s a healthy and nutritious way to start off the day! Between the rolled oats, peaches, and chia seeds, it’s a nutrient-packed breakfast that is filling and hearty! This peaches overnight oats recipe will keep you feeling satisfied until lunch.
    • It’s so tasty! It reminds me of peach pie, and I love the warmth you get with the cinnamon cooked with the peaches.

    Ingredients You’ll Need

    Ingredients needed to make peach overnight oats.
    • peaches — I’m using fresh, ripe peaches, but you can also use frozen peaches. If you can’t find either, canned peaches in juice and not syrup is another alternative. If you have extra peaches, try my peach juice recipe!
    • maple syrup — you can also use honey or brown sugar if you prefer.
    • lemon juice — just a bit to brighten up the flavor of the cooked peaches. I recommend using fresh lemons and not bottled lemon juice, as it tastes more bright and fresh.
    • cinnamon — just a pinch to add some warmth to the peaches. If you have some nutmeg, you can add that as well!
    • rolled oats — make sure you are using old-fashioned rolled oats. Instant oats and quick oats do not hold up as well, so I do not prefer the texture.
    • chia seeds — chia seeds come in both black and white seeds, but there is no difference in nutritional content. They’re also an excellent source of plant-based protein! When they absorb the milk, it helps thicken the overnight oats.
    • salt — just a pinch to help enhance the flavors in the overnight oats.
    • vanilla extract — I always recommend using real vanilla extract and not artificial extract. Don’t have any? Skip it! No biggie.
    • yogurt — to help with the creaminess of the overnight oats, the yogurt works with the chia seeds to give the overnight oats a creamy texture. If you don’t have yogurt, you can use applesauce or mashed bananas. You can use regular or plant-based yogurt. You can also use Greek yogurt to bump up the overall protein.
    • milk — you can use any milk of your choice, from cow’s milk to non-dairy milk such as oat milk, almond milk, or cashew milk. If you don’t have milk, you can make it with water, like my overnight oats with water recipe.

    How to Make Peach Overnight Oats

    • Add peeled and diced peaches to the saucepan over medium heat with 3 tablespoons of maple syrup and cinnamon.
    • Saute for 4 to 5 minutes or until peaches are tender. Turn off the heat and stir in lemon juice.
    • Set aside to cool and set aside 1 cup for topping.

    • Mix until well combined. Cover and put the mixture into the fridge (or individual containers) for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
    • When ready to enjoy, top with the cooked peaches that were set aside. You can reheat the peaches before topping to get them syrupy and warm again.

    Recipe Tips and Notes

    • You can add a couple of spoonfuls of nut butter to the overnight oats to add extra protein and flavor.
    • For an on-to-go meal, mason jars are great. 16-ounce wide-mouth mason jars are great if you plan on adding toppings, so you don’t spill anything. I also LOVE a good weck jar. They’re so pretty.
    • You can portion out the peach overnight oats into jars the night before and let them set up in them, so you get an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
    • The longer the peaches overnight oats sit in the fridge, the creamier the oats.
    • If you prefer more texture in your cooked peaches, you can cut them larger. I tend to mash mine a bit as I’m cooking it, so it’s almost like a puree.

    Topping Ideas

    • Fruit: you can add freshly diced peaches as a topping if you prefer.
    • Granola, nuts, or seeds: granola, chopped nuts (like almonds, pecans, or walnuts), or seeds (like sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds) add a great crunch to your overnight oats. Try my homemade lemon poppyseed granola!
    • Sweetener: a drizzle of honey or maple syrup makes for a delicious topping.

    Make Ahead Tips

    • Meal prep: store the overnight oats without any toppings in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
    • Freezer: to freeze overnight oats, portion out the oats in small containers, then freeze! Thaw the overnight oats in the fridge for 6-8 hours/overnight before you’d like to eat them. You can store the overnight oats in the freezer for up to 2 months.
    What are overnight oats?

    Overnight oats are a no-cook method of making oatmeal! It’s made by soaking rolled oats in some liquid overnight, so they become soft and digestible.

    Do you eat overnight oats hot or cold?

    If you’re not a fan of a cold breakfast, that’s ok! You can microwave the overnight oats until warmed through before enjoying them for breakfast.

    Are overnight oats healthy?

    I personally consider this overnight oats recipe to be healthy as the ingredients are rich in fiber, protein, and antioxidants. This recipe also contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals!

    Can you use steel-cut oats for overnight oats?

    I personally prefer not using steel-cut oats, but you can if you only have them on hand. However, keep in mind that steel-cut oats will need to be soaked longer in comparison, and the texture will be more dense and chewy.

    What are chia seeds?

    Chia seeds are tiny seeds from the plant Salvia hispanica. You may recognize them from those cute little chia pet commercials from way back when but other than a cute terra-cotta pet, the seeds are packed with healthy goodness. Despite being tiny little seeds, an one-ounce (28 grams) serving of chia seeds contains 11 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein, and 9 grams of fat (5 of which are omega-3s).
