📖 Recipe

Ingredients

Whole rolled oats - Rolled oats work best in this recipe, for the ratios I've tested and recommend. Save your quick oats or steel cut oats for another recipe!
Chia seeds - Make these oats thick and creamy, plus added omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. If you're interested, read more on chia seed health benefits.
Salt
Cinnamon - A classic peach pie flavor and tastes delicious with peaches.
Milk - Any milk will work, so pick your favorite. I recommend a few types of milk in my protein overnight oats recipe, so if you're going for protein-packed, check that out!
Greek yogurt - Makes the overnight oats thick, creamy, and high in protein.
Maple syrup - Or your favorite natural sweetener to add a little sweetness to the overnight oats.
Peaches - Fresh, juicy peaches are best here. You'll know your peach is ready to use when it's fragrant and gives slightly when you push gently into the flesh with your thumb.
Nuts

Vegan - Use plant-based yogurt and milk to make vegan overnight oats. Also, make sure you don't use honey has a sweetener, as the oats will no longer be vegan.
Sweetener - If you don't have maple syrup on hand, try honey, agave, or another unrefined sweetener (such as coconut sugar).
Cherry lime overnight oats - Sweet summer cherries, lime juice, and lime zest make a delicious combo. The base flavor is reminiscent of key lime pie!
Blueberry lemon zest overnight oats - Plump blueberries, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla.

Peach Pie Overnight Oats FAQ

Do you add fruit before or after overnight oats?

I almost always add fruit after my overnight oats have soaked. Otherwise, the fruit tends to get soggy and browned while sitting in the fridge. Some fruits do okay adding before, such as berries or whole cherries. That said, you still get the freshest plump and juicy fruit when you add after overnight oats (right before eating). I highly recommend adding peaches right before you eat your oats!

How do you make overnight oats not soggy?

By nature, overnight oats will have a yogurt-like texture (i.e. they won't be dry if done right). But, they are not meant to be runny or soggy! The key is making sure you have the right ratio of liquids to oats and chia seeds, and that you let the overnight oats soak long enough for the liquid to absorb. My recipe uses a tested and true ratio/method that always yields thick and creamy overnight oats!

Do overnight oats have to be overnight?

Nope! I make thick, creamy overnight oats in with at least four hours in the fridge all the time. They do get slightly thicker with more time, but four hours is a good minimum for overnight oats to be ready to eat.

How long can I store these overnight oats?

Store overnight oats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. I recommend storing your peaches and nuts separately, and adding to the peach pie overnight oats just before you enjoy them.
