Dessert For Breakfast Vibes!
When peaches are in season, I canโt 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 itโs a winner! Creamy oats with caramelized peaches and streusel, like dessert for breakfast!
While this recipe takes more time than most, itโs worth it. If youโre short on time, skip the streusel and caramelizing the peaches and just stir them in for a simpler version. Itโs still delicious!
Letโs 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 donโt like it straight from the container, you probably wonโt 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 donโt 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, itโs ripe or almost ripe.
- Look for a deep yellow color and a sweet peach smell. Wrinkled skin around the stem shows itโs ripe, but avoid peaches that are too wrinkled, as theyโre 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. Theyโll last for up to 3 days.

Way too sweet and way too watery. I had to double the amount of oats and start all over again. Not happy at having ingredients go to waste.
Shoot sorry you didnโt enjoy this recipe!
Is there any recommended substitute for coconut oil? It is a bit over my budget usually โฆ.
Hi Allison! Feel free to use butter (or margarine) in the place of coconut oil in these ๐
Hi Chelsea,
Is this recipe able to use another fruit other than peaches? Like apples or raspberries? Thanks!
Hey Megan! Absolutely!! I would just say to add the fruit in the morning ๐
Iโm such a sucker for peaches. LOVE them. And now I canโt stop thinking about these overnight oats. This is a breakfast I would HAPPILY wake up for!
Overnight oats are the BEST. Theyโre pretty much like dessert for breakfast, especially like this peach streusel version youโve made! Looks awesome, Chelsea! ๐

I love the idea of overnight oats and that peaches are involved. Yummy.
These overnight oats look so delicious! I for some reason have never had overnight oats, but they look like a delicious and nutritious breakfast idea.
Iโve never wanted to make overnight oats before, but these have me singing a different tune- plus I have peaches in the fridge!
