Light, creamy, and refreshing PeachOvernightOats are made with with oats, milk, yogurt, and flavor enhancers. The oats are soaked overnight and then topped with warm, caramelized peaches and a quick streusel.
OVERNIGHTOATS: In a small bowl, stir together the oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup (See Note 1), 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Place in an sealed container and refrigerate overnight or for at least an hour.
PEACHES: In the morning, remove the pit from the peach and chop finely. Combine the chopped peach with the 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in a skillet, over medium-low heat. Stir until the peach is tender and fragrant. Allow to cool slightly.
STREUSEL: Melt the coconut oil in the same skillet used for the peach. Add the remaining streusel ingredients and combine well. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until the oats are lightly crisp and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
ASSEMBLY: Stir the cooled peaches into the oats and then top with the warm streusel. Serve immediately.
Notes
Note 1: Sweetener: Scale the sweetener up or down, according to personal preference for how sweet you like your oats. I'd 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.
