Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned oats recommended for best texture
2 cups milk dairy or non-dairy, such as almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk
1/2 cup chopped fresh or frozen peaches if using frozen, do not thaw
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey or sweetener of choice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch salt

Optional Toppings

Extra sliced peaches for topping
granola for topping
Greek yogurt or whipped cream for topping
brown sugar for topping
chopped pecans for topping

Method

In a medium-sized bowl or a large jar with a lid, combine the rolled oats, milk, and chia seeds. Stir everything together thoroughly to ensure there are no clumps of oats or chia seeds at the bottom.
1 cup rolled oats, 2 cups milk, 2 tablespoons chia seeds
To the oat mixture, add the chopped peaches (fresh or frozen), maple syrup (or your preferred sweetener), cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir again to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
1/2 cup chopped fresh or frozen peaches, 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 pinch salt
Cover the bowl or seal the jar tightly. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, and the chia seeds to gel, creating a thick and creamy texture.
When you’re ready to serve, give the oatmeal a good stir. If it’s too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.
2 cups milk
Spoon the Overnight Peach Cobbler Oatmeal into serving bowls. Add your favorite toppings! Add extra sliced peaches for a fresh burst, a generous sprinkle of crunchy granola, a dollop of creamy Greek yogurt or whipped cream for extra indulgence, and a final dusting of brown sugar or some chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.

Notes

Once prepared and has had its overnight soak, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. For the best texture and flavor, it's recommended to consume it within the first 2-3 days. To reheat, simply spoon your desired portion into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until heated through and creamy. If you prefer it chilled, it's perfectly delicious straight from the fridge. For longer-term storage, you can freeze the prepared oatmeal in individual portions in freezer-safe containers. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat as directed above.
