Ingredients
Peach Mixture
- 3 cups peeled peaches, diced
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ½-1 teaspoon cinnamon (or more to taste)
Overnight Oats Base
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 cups milk (any kind)
Instructions
- Sauté Peaches: Add the peeled and diced peaches to a saucepan over medium heat along with 3 tablespoons of maple syrup and cinnamon. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until the peaches become tender and fragrant.
- Add Lemon Juice and Cool: Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor. Set the peach mixture aside to cool completely. Reserve 1 cup of the cooked peaches for topping later.
- Combine Ingredients: Once the cooked peaches have cooled, in a large bowl combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, salt, 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, and the remaining cooked peach mixture. Mix well until fully combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or divide the mixture into individual containers. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and flavors to meld.
- Serve: When ready to enjoy, top each serving with the reserved cooked peaches. Optionally, reheat the peaches before topping to serve them warm and syrupy.
Notes
- For creamier oats, substitute yogurt and milk with Greek yogurt and full-fat milk or a dairy-free alternative.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup to taste.
- Feel free to use fresh, frozen, or canned peaches as per availability.
- Chill time can be extended up to 24 hours if needed for convenience.
- Reheating the reserved peaches enhances their flavor and texture but is optional.
