Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (2% dairy or any plant-based)
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 cup (about 2 medium peaches or 1 can) peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned in juice, drained)
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (about ⅛ teaspoon)
  • Optional toppings: chopped pecans or walnuts, extra peach slices, honey, granola

Instructions

  1. Prep the peaches: If using fresh, wash, halve, pit, and dice into ½-inch cubes. If using canned, drain and roughly chop. If using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid, then pat dry.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to distribute spices.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until no dry oats remain. The mixture will be liquidy.
  5. Fold in the peaches: Gently fold the diced peaches into the oat mixture. Reserve a few peach cubes for topping if desired.
  6. Divide into jars: Spoon the mixture evenly into 2–3 mason jars or airtight containers, leaving about ½ inch of space at the top. Press reserved peaches into the top if using.
  7. Refrigerate: Seal jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably 8–12 hours.
  8. Serve: In the morning, stir well. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Serve cold or microwave for 45–60 seconds for a warm version.
  9. Add toppings: Top with chopped pecans, honey, extra peach slices, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

Do not skip the salt—it balances the sweetness. For best texture, use rolled oats (not quick or steel-cut). Chia seeds are optional but highly recommended for creaminess. For meal prep, leave toppings off until serving. The oats taste even better on day 2 or 3.
