Notes

My #1 Secret Tip for making this peach overnight oats recipe is to stick with rolled oats. They give the oats the best texture; nice and creamy without turning mushy. I tried quick oats once, and let’s just say my kids politely pushed their bowls away.
No yogurt? No problem: If I’m out of yogurt, I just swap in a thick, creamy milk like canned coconut milk. It still gives that rich texture we love without missing a beat.

Use ripe or thawed peaches: If I’m using frozen peaches, I let them thaw a bit before mixing. It helps release their natural sweetness and makes the oats extra juicy.

Adjust the milk to your texture preference: I start with ½ cup of milk, but if we like it creamier, I add a splash more in the morning. It’s easy to thin it out or keep it thick depending on who’s eating it.

Stir again before serving: In the morning, I always give the oats a quick stir. It brings everything back together and makes sure the chia seeds and oats aren’t stuck to the bottom.

Double the recipe: I usually make a few jars at once since everyone wants their own. It’s the same effort and makes breakfast for the next couple of days a breeze.
