ingredients and substitutions

Use fresh, ripe and juicy yellow peaches for the best results. If you don’t have access to fresh peaches, or they aren’t in season anymore, feel free to use frozen peaches instead. Avoid using canned peaches if you can as these contain a ton of extra added sugar.

I use organic old fashioned rolled oats for my overnight oat recipes. Quick oats or steel cut oats won’t work the same.

Ground flax is a great way to add more fiber into any recipe without sacrificing the taste. If you don’t have ground flax, feel free to leave it out.

Chia seeds are also a great way to add in more fiber and protein. They are loaded with omega-3 which is a great healthy fat and it also adds to the overall texture of these overnight oats. Feel free to omit them.

Ground cinnamon pairs amazingly with peaches and it also gives this recipe a warm taste and flavor.

You can use any type of milk or nut milk alternative if you prefer. I personally love using almond milk in my recipes, but you may also use cashew milk, pistachio milk or if you aren’t dairy free, cows milk.

A touch of maple syrup is totally optional but highly encouraged as that is what will make this recipe have a subtle sweet flavor and a similar taste to peach pie.

You will need a touch more of cinnamon, maple syrup and some coconut oil to make the sautéed peaches. If you don’t have coconut oil, feel free to use extra virgin olive oil, butter, ghee or even avocado oil.

taste and texture

These Peach Overnight Oats taste like peach pie, but better! They are slightly sweet and full of flavor. You taste the maple syrup and cinnamon peaches with each bite. The granola on top adds a lovely crunch and switches up the texture.

The texture is creamy and soft. If you don’t like the texture of overnight oats you can add granola on top or you can blend them and the texture will be more like pudding. Check out my blended overnight oats recipe for directions on how to do that.

They will stay fresh and ready to eat up to 5 days. In my opinion they taste best up to three days which is why I typically only prep 3 days out, however, they are still fresh to eat at day 5!
