Key Ingredients & Tips for Peaches and Cream Oats

  • Peach Options: Use fresh, diced peaches when they are in season for the best flavor. Frozen or canned peaches (drained) work well too.

What You Need

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup diced fresh or frozen peaches
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or cream

⏱️ Time: 5 min prep, 8 hrs chill🍽️ Yields: 1 serving

How to Make It

Step 1: Mix All Wet and Dry Ingredients

In a jar or container, combine the rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are combined.

Step 2: Add Peaches and Chill

Gently fold in the diced peaches. If using Greek yogurt or cream, add it now. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

The next morning, stir the oats and top with extra fresh peach slices or a drizzle of honey if desired.

📝 Final Note

For an even stronger peach flavor, you can mash some of the peaches before adding them to the oats.
