Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the overnight oats
- 1/3 cup rolled oats, gluten-free if desired
- 1/3 cup milk (I use unsweetened almond milk)
- 1/4 cup plain 0% Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I like Ceylon cinnamon)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
For the peach topping
- 1 medium peach, chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (honey or brown sugar works too)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sliced almonds, for topping
Instructions
- Make the overnight oats. In a medium bowl or jar with a fitted lid, add the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Cover and chill in the fridge overnight. Stir the ingredients together until well combined and there are no clumps of chia seeds. Cover and chill for at least 8 hours or overnight in the fridge.
- Make the peach topping. In the morning, add the chopped peaches, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup to a small mixing bowl. Gently stir until everything is combined.
- Add your toppings and enjoy! Give the chilled overnight oats a good stir, then add the peach mixture on top of the oats. Sprinkle the toasted sliced almonds on top and enjoy!
Notes
- I use old-fashioned rolled oats for this recipe because they become tender and creamy when soaked. Quick oats and instant oats often get watery and mushy. Steel-cut oats remain too firm after soaking overnight.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons more milk if you like your overnight oats more runny.
- Other optional toppings: Coconut yogurt, granola, shredded coconut, almond butter, chopped pecans or walnuts, peptias (green pumpkin seeds), hemp seeds, fresh blueberries, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
- How long do overnight oats last? Overnight oats will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, which makes this great for meal prep. However, I think they taste best within the first 12-48 hours.
