Ingredients
Scale
Base Mixture
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Sweetener and Fruit
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen peaches, diced
Toppings
- Additional fresh peaches
- Chopped pecans or almonds
- Granola
- A sprinkle of brown sugar
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a mason jar or container, mix together the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create the creamy oat base.
- Add Sweetener: Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup depending on your preference for sweetness, ensuring the mixture is evenly sweetened.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all ingredients well to combine fully, allowing the oats and chia seeds to begin absorbing the liquids for a smooth consistency.
- Fold in Peaches: Gently fold diced peaches into the oat mixture to distribute fruit evenly without breaking them down.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let the oats soften and flavors meld.
- Morning Preparation: In the morning, stir the oats well. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top your oats with additional fresh peaches, chopped nuts like pecans or almonds, granola, and a sprinkle of brown sugar for added texture and sweetness. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based alternative such as almond or oat milk.
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup and a plant-based yogurt.
- Overnight oats can be prepared up to 2 days in advance for convenience.
- Adjust sweetness to taste, or omit sweetener for a naturally sweet option by increasing fruit quantity.
- Chia seeds help thicken the mixture and add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
