Why you’ll love this recipe:

There are few fruits as delicious as a perfectly ripe, juicy peach and when they are in season, I like to enjoy them in as many ways as possible.

They are a perfect addition to this easy, make-ahead breakfast which will keep you satisfied throughout the morning.

You will love this recipe for Peach Overnight Oats because:

  • It is made from ingredients that are readily available.
  • They are free from refined sugar.
  • It is the perfect breakfast for busy mornings, either to enjoy when you wake up or take on the go with you.
  • You can make them even more special by adding toppings of your choice in the morning.
  • The quantities can easily be adjusted to your needs – the written recipe serves two but can easily be halved or doubled!
  • They are ideal for meal prep. Lasting for three days in the fridge, you can make a start on your breakfast preparation for the week ahead.
  • Overnight oats are so versatile – we top our Peach Overnight Oats with Greek yoghurt and extra fresh peach, but you could also use coconut yoghurt to keep them vegan.

Ingredients in this recipe:

Please see the recipe card further along in the post for exact quantities of ingredients and the full method.

Ingredients in this recipe on a pink and white background.

Old Fashioned Rolled Oats – the best oats for this recipe. Although steel-cut oats and quick-cooking oats can be used in some overnight oats recipes, they may require a different ratio of liquid, so it is best to use a recipe specific to that type of oats.

Milk – I like to use almond or oat milk, but soy milk works just fine as does dairy milk – use a milk of your preference.

Ground cinnamon – adds a great depth of flavour as well as a lovely warmth to the oats. A little sprinkled on top before serving is also a nice touch!

Chia seeds – help give the oats a nice thick texture, and add some extra fibre. Black or white chia seeds are fine to use in this recipe.

Maple syrup – for a hint of sweetness, I use pure maple syrup. You could also use honey, but as it does not combine with the other ingredients as readily as maple syrup, I recommend that you drizzle some over the oats in the morning.

Vanilla – use a good quality vanilla extract that is naturally produced from the vanilla bean and not synthetically flavoured.

Peach – yellow or white peaches can be used in this recipe. If possible, choose freestone peaches which are the easiest to use. As the name suggests, the stone is easily removed, as opposed to clingstone varieties when you must cut the flesh from the stone. I have peeled the peaches, but you can leave the skin on if you prefer.

How to Make Peach Overnight Oats:

Please see the recipe card further along in the post for exact quantities of ingredients and the full method.

Steps 1-2 of preparing this recipe - the ingredients in a white bowl and stirring the ingredients with a wooden spoon.

1 – Add your ingredients to a bowl:
To a medium-sized bowl, add your ingredients.

2 – Mix well:
Stir well until everything is combined.

Steps 3-4 of preparing this recipe - the oats in a jar ready for the fridge and topped with fresh peach cubes and flaked almonds for serving.

3 – Refrigerate:
Cover the bowl with clingwrap or divide the mixture into two glasses or mason jars and cover. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.

4 – Serve:
In the morning, stir well and enjoy as is, or top with yoghurt, additional peach and flaked almonds.

Tips for success and FAQs:

These Peach Overnight Oats could not be simpler to prepare. As there are such few ingredients, I do recommend using the best quality available.

How long do the Peach Overnight Oats last?

Store the oats in the fridge. For the best taste and texture, enjoy them within three days.

How long do the Oats have to be in the fridge before consumption?

Refrigerate your overnight oats mixture for at least 6 hours. I make mine just before bed, and they’re perfect in the morning!

Are Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats Gluten-Free?

There are different rules regarding this, depending on where you live in the world. For Australian residents, Coeliac Australia provides a great resource on this topic. Always be sure to read the labels and consult with a health professional if you are unsure.

What Peaches are best to use?

You can use yellow or white peaches for this recipe. Freestone peaches are the easiest to work with. As the name suggests, the stone is easily removed, as opposed to clingstone varieties when you must cut the flesh from the stone. I have peeled the peaches, but you can leave the skin on if you prefer.

How should I select a peach?

Avoid peaches that are firm to the touch as they are not ripe and will lack flavour. Look for peaches that are fragrant and have a little give when gently squeezed. Do not squeeze the peach firmly as you will bruise it. Avoid any with shrivelled skin or bruises.

Variations and substitutions:

Peaches – if you prefer, you could use nectarines. There are so many other delicious Overnight Oats recipes – see below for some of my favourites!
 
Spices – we have added ground cinnamon to the oats, but you could add a little ground ginger or nutmeg to suit your taste if you prefer.
 
Milk – use a milk of your choice. I like to use almond or oat milk, but soy milk works just fine as does dairy milk.

Serving suggestions:

One of my favourite parts of making a batch of easy Peach Overnight Oats is customising the toppings!

For this recipe, I like to use a topping of Greek yoghurt, flaked almonds and additional fresh peach.

You could also try adding:

  • Chopped walnuts or almonds.
  • A sprinkle of shredded coconut.
  • Coconut yoghurt – to keep the recipe vegan.
  • A dusting of additional cinnamon.

You will love the ease of preparation and great taste of these Peach Cinnamon Overnight Oats. They are certain to become a family favourite. Be sure to let me know in the comments below when you have given them a try!
