FAQs
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, feel free to use any milk you prefer, such as almond, soy, or oat milk. Just choose one that suits your taste and dietary needs.
Do I have to peel the peaches?
Peeling peaches is optional. Leaving the skin on adds extra fiber and nutrients, but if you prefer a smoother texture, you can peel them before dicing.

Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
Fruit
- 1 ripe peach, peeled and diced
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a clean jar or bowl, add the rolled oats, milk, and yogurt. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Add peaches: Fold in the diced fresh peach pieces evenly throughout the oat mixture to distribute the fruit flavor.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid, creating a creamy texture.
- Serve chilled: In the morning, give the oats a gentle stir and enjoy cold straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Optionally, top with extra fresh peach slices or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for best texture; quick oats will become too mushy, and steel-cut oats won’t soften enough.
- You can substitute milk and yogurt with non-dairy alternatives like almond milk and coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust sweetness by adding a teaspoon of honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup if desired.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for convenience.
- Mix in chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber and nutrition.
