I fell in love with Peach Overnight Oats one summer when I had an overflowing basket of ripe peaches from the local farmers market and I wanted to enjoy them in every way possible and I thought what better way to start the day than with a breakfast that feels like dessert but is secretly healthy. I remember the first spoonful tasting so sweet and creamy and I knew immediately that this was going to be a morning favorite for the whole season.

What I love most about these Peach Overnight Oats is how they basically make themselves overnight while I get to sleep peacefully and wake up to a jar full of creamy oats and juicy peach slices that taste like a summer sunrise and it’s the easiest way to treat yourself to a bright and refreshing start to the day without any fuss in the morning.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
Rolled oats – The base that turns creamy as it soaks overnight.
Milk (dairy or non-dairy) – Keeps everything soft and smooth.
Greek yogurt – Adds extra creaminess and a protein boost.
Honey or maple syrup – Naturally sweetens the oats.
Chia seeds – Helps thicken the oats and adds fiber.
Vanilla extract – Gives a sweet, warm aroma.
Fresh peach – Juicy and sweet, the star of the show.
Lemon juice – Helps keep the peaches bright and fresh.

Tools You’ll Need

Mason jar or airtight container – Perfect for mixing and storing overnight.
Knife – For slicing those juicy peaches beautifully.
Cutting board – Makes prep safe and easy.
Spoon – For mixing and layering everything.
Measuring cups and spoons – Helps get the perfect texture every time.

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the base

I start by stirring together the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, honey, chia seeds, and vanilla extract in a jar until everything is well combined and creamy.

Step 2: Prepare the peaches

I slice the peach and toss it gently with a little lemon juice to keep it looking bright and tasting fresh.

Step 3: Layer the oats

I fold some of the peach slices into the oat mixture, saving a few for topping the next morning to make it extra pretty and flavorful.

Step 4: Refrigerate overnight

I cover the jar tightly and let it sit in the fridge overnight so all the flavors can come together and the oats soften perfectly.

Step 5: Top and enjoy

In the morning, I give the oats a quick stir and top them with the reserved peach slices and sometimes an extra drizzle of honey before diving in.

Tips

If you want an even richer texture, I suggest adding a splash of coconut milk or a spoonful of nut butter. I also like to sprinkle in a bit of cinnamon sometimes for extra warmth. And if you’re in a hurry, you can prep a few jars at once to have breakfast ready for a few days!

Ways to Serve

I love these oats straight from the jar for a quick grab-and-go breakfast, but they’re also great in a bowl topped with granola for some crunch or a few nuts for extra protein. They even make a delicious midday snack if you’re craving something sweet yet wholesome.
