Dessert For Breakfast Vibes!

When peaches are in season, I can’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 it’s a winner! Creamy oats with caramelized peaches and streusel, like dessert for breakfast!

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

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

Let’s talk yogurt

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

If you don’t like it straight from the container, you probably won’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 don’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, it’s ripe or almost ripe.
  • Look for a deep yellow color and a sweet peach smell. Wrinkled skin around the stem shows it’s ripe, but avoid peaches that are too wrinkled, as they’re overripe.
  • Streusel: The streusel topping adds a nice crunch and flavor contrast. 

Storage

Store peach overnight oats in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll last for up to 3 days.

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.

    Hello!
    I was forwarded to a recipe of yours from the website Eat This Not That. It was for a almond peach chia pudding of yours. It sounded amazing but I cannot find it on your website anywhere. Can you share the recipe? 🙂
    Thanks
