Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats (Printable Version)

A comforting make-ahead breakfast with juicy peaches, creamy oats, and cinnamon

# What You'll Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
05 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 - Pinch of salt

→ Peach Layer

09 - 1 large ripe peach, diced (or 1 cup frozen peaches, thawed)
10 - 1 tablespoon brown sugar
11 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice

→ Topping

13 - 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts
14 - 2 tablespoons granola (optional)
15 - Extra peach slices, for garnish

# How To Make:

01 - Combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
02 - Toss diced peach with brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a separate small bowl. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld and peaches to release their juices.
03 - Distribute half of the oat mixture between two jars or bowls. Divide peach mixture evenly between containers, then top with remaining oat mixture to create distinct layers.
04 - Cover jars or bowls tightly with lids. Refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow oats to soften and flavors to develop fully.
05 - Remove from refrigerator and stir gently to combine layers. Top each bowl with chopped pecans or walnuts, granola if desired, and fresh peach slices. Serve chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like having dessert for breakfast but keeps you full for hours thanks to the fiber and protein combo
  • The peaches get sweeter overnight and create this incredible syrup that seeps into the oats
  • You can make it in five minutes the night before during that evening kitchen lull
02 -
  • The texture thickens up significantly overnight so if you prefer thinner oats add another splash of milk in the morning
  • Frozen peaches work totally fine but fresh peaches in peak season create this next level sweetness
  • The nuts can get soggy if you add them the night before so always save toppings for morning
03 -
  • Let the peach mixture sit at room temperature while you prep the oats to really get those juices flowing
  • Use wide-mouth mason jars for easier layering and cleaning
  • If your peaches arent very ripe add an extra half tablespoon of brown sugar
