Dessert For Breakfast Vibes!

When peaches are in season, I canโ€™t get enough of them, especially in desserts like peach pie and cobbler.

To avoid eating half a pie, I added them to my go-to breakfast: overnight oats. This is my first fruit-filled oat recipe and itโ€™s a winner! Creamy oats with caramelized peaches and streusel, like dessert for breakfast!

While this recipe takes more time than most, itโ€™s worth it. If youโ€™re short on time, skip the streusel and caramelizing the peaches and just stir them in for a simpler version. Itโ€™s still delicious!

Mixing all the ingredients for the breakfast, caramelizing fresh peaches, and preparing the streusel.

Letโ€™s talk yogurt

The key ingredient in overnight oats is the yogurt. I love using Greek Godsยฎ Honey Vanilla Yogurt (not sponsored), but any yogurt you enjoy plain will work.

If you donโ€™t like it straight from the container, you probably wonโ€™t love the flavor in the Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats.

I recommend full-fat Greek yogurt with honey or vanilla for the best flavor and texture. Full-fat yogurt thickens the oats much better than low-fat varieties.

Other Ingredients

  • Milk: Any milk works here, but I like unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
  • Oats: Old-fashioned oats are best for texture. Steel-cut oats are too chewy, and quick oats absorb more liquid, leaving less texture.
  • Maple syrup: My go-to sweetener for overnight oats. Adjust the amount to your taste, but I recommend 1 to 2 tbsp. Liquid stevia is a zero-calorie alternative.
  • Vanilla: Adds a nice flavor boost, though not essential if you donโ€™t have it.
  • Salt: A pinch enhances flavors and balances the ingredients.
  • Cinnamon: A sprinkle complements the peaches and oats!

Quick Tip

If you love these Peach Overnight Oats, be daring and try a different fruit! You can use apples, raspberries, or pears with delicious results!

Peach Cobbler Overnight Oat Toppings

  • Peaches: Use ripe, fresh peaches for the best flavor. To check if a peach is ripe, gently squeeze it. If it gives a little, itโ€™s ripe or almost ripe.
  • Look for a deep yellow color and a sweet peach smell. Wrinkled skin around the stem shows itโ€™s ripe, but avoid peaches that are too wrinkled, as theyโ€™re overripe.
  • Streusel: The streusel topping adds a nice crunch and flavor contrast.ย 

Storage

Store peach overnight oats in an airtight container in the fridge. Theyโ€™ll last for up to 3 days.

Overnight Oats
Peaches

Recipe Notes

Note 1: Scale the sweetener up or down, according to how sweet you like your oats. I recommend at least 1 tablespoon and up to 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup for a sweeter breakfast. Substitute 1/4 teaspoon liquid stevia in place of the syrup for a natural, zero-calorie sweetener.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the streusel separate to maintain its crunch.
