Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Old-fashioned rolled oats: These are the best choice for overnight oats since they absorb liquid well while keeping a nice texture. If you’re short on time, you can use quick-cooking oats, but they’ll be softer and mushy.
Milk: Any milk works here! If you prefer dairy, go for whole or skim milk. For plant-based options, almond, oat, or coconut milk are great choices. They all add their unique flavor.
Greek yogurt: This adds creaminess and protein. If you want a non-dairy option, try coconut yogurt or almond-based yogurt. You could also skip it if you prefer a lighter texture.
Chia seeds: These are fantastic for thickening and adding nutrition. If you don’t have them, you can leave them out, but they help with a nice pudding-like consistency.
Fresh peaches: Fresh peaches are ideal for their sweetness and juiciness. Canned peaches work too—just drain them well. If peaches aren’t in season, try using nectarines or even diced apples!
How Do I Get Smooth and Creamy Overnight Oats?
Getting that perfect creamy texture for your overnight oats is key! Here’s how to do it right:
- Use a mix of liquid and yogurt. It creates a nice creaminess, making every bite delicious.
- Stir the mixture well before refrigerating. This ensures the oats absorb the flavors evenly.
- Let it chill overnight. The longer they soak, the creamier they’ll become—opt for at least 6 hours!
- If they seem too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of extra milk to loosen them up.
These little tips will ensure your Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats turn out satisfying and tasty every time!

In a medium bowl or jar, mix together the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and half of the ground cinnamon. Stir everything together well until it’s fully mixed. This creamy base is what makes your overnight oats delicious!
2. Add the Peaches:
Slice half of the peaches into small pieces and gently fold them into the oat mixture. This will give a burst of fresh peach flavor in every bite.
3. Layer in a Jar:
Transfer half of the oat and peach mixture into a serving jar or container. This will be your first layer. It’s important to use a container that can be sealed tightly.
4. Top with More Peaches:

Can I Use Frozen Peaches in This Recipe?
Absolutely! Just thaw the frozen peaches in the fridge overnight or quickly under cold water before adding them to the oats. They may be softer than fresh but will still taste delicious in your overnight oats!
How Can I Make This Recipe Vegan?
To make your Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats vegan, simply use plant-based milk (like almond, oat, or coconut), and substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative. Replace honey with maple syrup for sweetening, and you’re all set!
What If I Don’t Have Chia Seeds?
No worries! If you don’t have chia seeds, you can omit them, but the oats may not thicken up as nicely. Alternatively, you can swap them with ground flaxseeds for a similar texture and nutritional boost.
How Should I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Give it a good stir before eating, and add a splash of milk if it thickened up too much while chilling.
