Peach Pie Overnight Oats: A Delicious & Healthy Breakfast Recipe

Print Recipe

Creamy overnight oats with sweet peaches and crunchy nuts create a healthy, customizable breakfast or meal prep option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
  • 1 ½ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy, I prefer almond milk)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (optional, adds creaminess and protein)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (for thickening and omega-3s)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, agave, or your favorite sweetener)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 large ripe peach, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, for topping)
  • ½ tablespoon butter, melted (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl or a large mason jar, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: Pour in the milk, Greek yogurt (if using), maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are nicely combined.
  3. Incorporate the peaches: Gently fold in about ¾ of the diced peaches into the oat mixture. Reserve the remaining peaches for topping later.
  4. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the bowl or seal the mason jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. (Optional) Prepare the peach pie topping: In a small bowl, combine the remaining diced peaches, chopped pecans or walnuts (if using), brown sugar (if using), and melted butter (if using). Toss to coat.
  6. (Optional) Bake the peach topping: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the peach mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the peaches are softened and slightly caramelized. Alternatively, sauté the peaches in a pan with a little butter and brown sugar until softened.
  7. Check the consistency: After the overnight oats have chilled, stir well. If too thick, add a splash of milk.
  8. Layer or mix: Layer the overnight oats and peach topping in a glass or bowl, or mix the topping into the oats.
  9. Add extra toppings (optional): Add a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup on top.
  10. Enjoy immediately or store for later: Best enjoyed immediately, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • Fruit Substitutions: Use other fruits like berries, apples, or plums instead of peaches.
  • Protein Boost: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the oat mixture.
  • Spice Variations: Experiment with spices like nutmeg, ginger, or cardamom.
  • Vegan Option: Use non-dairy milk, yogurt, and sweetener.
  • Nut and Seed Additions: Add almonds, sunflower seeds, or flax seeds.
  • Sweetener Alternatives: Use honey, agave nectar, or a sugar-free sweetener.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare a big batch on Sunday and enjoy throughout the week.
  • Warm Option: Warm the oats in the microwave for a cozy breakfast.
