This quick and easy Peach Overnight Oats recipe turns a few simple ingredients into a dreamy breakfast treat. I use fresh or frozen peaches, rolled oats, and creamy plant milk to make it the night before. It’s my favorite summer breakfast solution, especially on busy mornings when I’ve got hungry little mouths waiting at the table.

Summer mornings in our house are always moving, from shuffling the kids to their activities to squeezing in blog work before lunch. So I’ve made it my mission to come up with breakfasts that are quick, easy, and something we can all grab as we head out the door. After my vegan overnight oats success, I figured, why not make more fun, seasonal versions with fresh fruit?

When my kids started devouring my healthy banana peach smoothie I realized I could incorporate these sweet summer fruits into more breakfast options. Now this peachy version of overnight oats has become my go-to breakfast prep recipe that makes busy mornings so much smoother. I even get my kids to help me prep the jars the night before, making it a fun kitchen activity we can share together.

🥘 Ingredients

Using wholesome ingredients when I create recipes is honestly my favorite part. I head to the store and pick out everything high-quality and organic when I can. Here’s what I used for this one:

Frozen Peaches: I use frozen peaches and let them thaw slightly before mixing. They’re sweet, juicy, and perfect for summer breakfasts.

Rolled Oats: I always go with old-fashioned rolled oats. They hold up overnight and give the best creamy texture.

Dairy-Free Yogurt: I mix in a scoop of plain or vanilla dairy-free yogurt.

Dairy-Free Milk: I pour in whatever plant milk I have on hand: almond, oat, or coconut all work great. I use just enough to keep it creamy but not watery.

Chia Seeds: I add about a tablespoon for a boost of fiber and to help thicken everything.

Vanilla Extract: I splash in a bit of vanilla is a must, it makes the whole thing smell amazing too.

Seasonings: I usually keep it simple with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a tiny pinch of salt. Sometimes I add a little ground ginger.

🔪 How To Make

The best breakfasts are the ones that taste great, keep us full, and are ready when we are. This recipe is super easy to prep the night before, so it’s perfect for a grab-and-go meal to start the day. Here is how I make it:

Prep the ingredients: I add the peaches, oats, yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla, and seasonings to a bowl.

Add the milk: I pour in the dairy-free milk over the oat mixture.

Mix well: I give the oats a good stir, making sure all the ingredients are fully combined. I scrape down the sides of the bowl so nothing gets left out.

Chill the oats: I spoon the mixture into a jar or airtight container with a lid. Then, I pop it in the fridge overnight or for at least a few hours until it thickens.

📖 Variations

You know I always test my recipes before I share them here with you. And during that process, I tried a bunch of different variations that turned out so good, these are some of my favorites:

Peach Cobbler Oats: Add a dash of cinnamon and a tablespoon of maple syrup, then top with chopped pecans or granola in the morning for a dessert-inspired twist.

Berry Peach Oats: I mix in frozen blueberries or raspberries along with the peaches. It’s colorful, fruity, and a total favorite with my kids.

Peach Protein Boost: Stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a tablespoon of almond butter before refrigerating. Perfect for busy mornings when we need extra fuel.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

Whether I’m enjoying these peach overnight oats at home or taking them to work, they’re incredibly versatile and pair beautifully with other breakfast favorites.

I love serving them alongside smoothies like this mixed berry smoothie without yogurt or this healthy protein coffee smoothie for an extra nutritious morning boost. On weekends, I’ll top them with homemade high-protein granola or strawberry crunch topping for extra yummy crunch. 

For brunch gatherings, I like to create a beautiful breakfast spread with these oats, my friend’s favorite vegan French toast recipe, and some freshly made breakfast fruit salad to complete the spread with color and healthy vitamins!

🧊 Storage Directions

Refrigeration: I store the oats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 5 days. They’re best after at least 2 hours, but even better the next morning.

Freezing: I don’t usually freeze overnight oats, since the texture can get weird and watery once thawed.

Reheating: These are meant to be eaten cold, but if someone in your house prefers them warm (my husband does!), just microwave for 30–45 seconds and give them a stir.
