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.
