It’s the season for all things fishing! That means peach smoothies, peach bars, and definitely peach overnight oats on warm summer mornings. These oatmeal rolls are inspired by the peach cobbler but made with wholesome ingredients.
What will you need
- Oatmeal, also known as old-fashioned oats. Steel cut oats and instant oats don’t work here.
- Milk of your choice: Unsweetened, unflavored soy milk is my favorite, but any kind works here.
- Peaches: Choose ripe peaches. I leave the skins on but you can remove them if you prefer.
- greek yogurt: I like to use peach-flavored Greek yogurt for an extra peach flavor! Vanilla is also a good option and just works if you want to cut down on added sugars.
- Pecans: I use whole pecans and coarsely chop them, but you can also purchase chopped pecans to save prep time. Walnuts are fine too. Omit the pecans for this recipe without nuts.
- Brown sugar can be omitted if you prefer naturally sweetened oats. Maple syrup and honey are also great options, but I recommend adding them directly to the oatmeal instead of sautéing the peaches.
- Cinnamon powder AND ginger they are two spices that go wonderfully with peaches!
Step by step instructions
I like to use the size of a wide mouth pint ball jars as containers, but any glass or medium sized container will do.
If you are preparing multiple portions it’s easier if you mix the ingredients directly in the jars instead of mixing them together in a large bowl and dividing them among the jars.
First step: To each jar add the oatmeal, the spices, the Greek yogurt and the milk.
Step two: mix to combine.
Phase three: To prepare the peaches, heat a small skillet over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the peaches, brown sugar, and pecans. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until the peaches are softened and the pecans are toasted. This makes the peaches softer and juicier than if you add them directly to the oatmeal.
Save half of the peaches for garnish the next morning or go ahead and mix them all in the jars.
Phase four: Cover and refrigerate the jars for at least 4 hours before enjoying them.
Recipe FAQs and expert advice
- Make it vegan: Replace Greek yogurt with your favorite vegan yogurt. Yogurts made with soy and pea protein are generally higher in protein. Choose a plant-based milk such as soy, almond or oat milk.
- This recipe works with any stone fruit (plums, nectarines, etc.).
- Healthier add-ons: To each jar add 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds for healthy fats. It will also thicken the oats even more.
In the summer I prefer them cold but you can warm them up if you prefer warm oatmeal. Heat over medium-low on the stovetop or heat in the microwave until warmed through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Overnight oats are best enjoyed within 3 to 4 days. Keep refrigerated.
For soft oats wait at least 4 hours after refrigeration. This gives the oats time to absorb the liquid and soften. They will get softer the longer they sit.
I haven’t tried freezing oats overnight, but I don’t think that would work well.
Decidedly! Let them thaw completely before using them. I’d put them in the microwave to do this, but you can also let them thaw in the refrigerator.
