Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 cup diced fresh or frozen peaches
1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, to taste
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
Optional toppings: granola, extra diced peaches, chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts), whipped cream
Instructions
1. 1. In a pint-sized jar or small container, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to distribute.
2. 2. Pour in milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until well combined and no dry clumps remain.
3. 3. Gently fold in the diced peaches until evenly distributed.
4. 4. Secure the lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight (8 hours).
5. 5. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Top with desired toppings and enjoy cold or gently warmed.
Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; instant oats become mushy. Adjust sweetness depending on peach ripeness and personal preference. Chia seeds are key for thickening and nutrition. For vegan/dairy-free, use plant-based milk and yogurt. Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days; do not freeze. Recipe can be easily scaled for meal prep.
