Peach Hand Pies are also an excellent option for transforming your fresh, ripe peaches into a delightful treat that’s sure to be a hit with everyone.
This peach overnight oats recipe consists of two components: the overnight oats and a small batch of granola.
FOR THE GRANOLA
This small batch of granola is also great for a quick snack or topping other flavors of overnight oats.
- Maple Syrup – I love the taste of maple syrup in this granola recipe, but honey can be used as a substitute if necessary.
- Vanilla Extract – Pure vanilla extract adds lovely vanilla flavor to the granola.
- Cinnamon – Ground cinnamon for a hint of flavor is perfect for this granola.
- Salt – Just a pinch of salt to help balance the sweetness.
- Oats – Old fashioned rolled oats work best when making homemade granola.
- Pecans – While optional, chopped pecans are fantastic in both the granola and the peach overnight oats.
FOR THE PEACH OVERNIGHT OATS
- Oats – Old fashioned rolled oats are the best oats to use when making overnight oats.
- Yogurt – Plain Greek yogurt is my go-to when making overnight oats. Vanilla flavored yogurt is also a great choice.
- Milk – Any kind of milk will work. I have used whole milk, 2% milk, almond and coconut milk successfully when making overnight oats. The milk can even be replaced with water if needed.
- Chia Seeds – Chia seeds are an excellent choice for a nutritional boost and added texture. They help thicken overnight oats, providing a delightful texture. While they are optional, adding them is highly recommended.
- Maple Syrup – To add flavor and to sweeten the overnight oats. Honey or your favorite sweetener can be substituted if needed.
- Cinnamon – Ground cinnamon adds flavor to the overnight oats.
- Vanilla – Pure vanilla extract for additional flavor. If using vanilla yogurt you can omit the vanilla extract.
- Peaches – Freshly diced peaches with or without the skin.
The full recipe can be found in the recipe card below.
FOR THE GRANOLA
Mix together all of the granola ingredients and bake for 15-18 minutes. Cool before using.
FOR THE PEACH OVERNIGHT OATS
STEP 1
In a small bowl combine the oats, yogurt, milk, chia seeds, cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight.
STEP 2
To serve the overnight oats mix in or top the overnight oats with the diced fresh peaches. Sprinkle over the homemade granola. Enjoy!
Overnight Oats are best eaten 1-3 after they have been made. Since the oats will continue to soften as they sit, the texture changes. While the optimal texture is within 1-3 days of making them, they remain safe to consume up to day 5. I eat them on day 5 all of the time and they are still great!
Old fashioned rolled oats are the best choice for making overnight oats. In my opinion, the best texture comes from using overnight oats. Instant oats become almost mushy and steel cut oats are too firm.
