Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, divided

- 1 tablespoon grade A maple syrup, plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups rolled oats, gluten-free if needed
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/4 cup non-dairy yogurt
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
Quarter one peach and finely dice the other. You can peel the peaches if preferred, though leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
Step 2: Blend the Peach Mixture
Add the quartered peach, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to a high-speed blender. Blend for 45–60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Mix the Oats
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and non-dairy yogurt. Pour in the peach milk mixture and stir until fully combined.
Step 4: Let It Thicken
Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes so the oats and chia seeds absorb some liquid and thicken slightly.
Step 5: Add Fresh Peaches
Fold the diced peaches into the Peaches and Cream Overnight Oats mixture until evenly distributed.
Step 6: Chill Overnight
Transfer to jars or airtight containers. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 7: Serve
Enjoy cold straight from the fridge or warm slightly before serving.

FAQ
Can I make overnight oats without chia seeds?
Yes, though chia seeds help thicken the mixture and create a creamy texture.
How long do overnight oats last?
Peaches and Cream Overnight Oats stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Can I use canned peaches?
Fresh peaches are best, but canned peaches packed in juice can work if drained well.
