Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats for a Sweet Start
This recipe tastes just like your favorite peach cobbler but is ready in minutes for a healthy breakfast. It’s creamy, sweet, and packed with juicy peaches, perfect for a grab-and-go meal.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Peach Overnight Oats
- Use Ripe Peaches: For the best natural sweetness, choose peaches that are soft to the touch. If using frozen, let them thaw slightly before mixing.
- Oat Choice Matters: Rolled oats give you the best creamy yet chewy texture. Instant oats can become too mushy, and steel-cut oats won’t soften enough overnight.
- Sweetness Balance: Adjust the amount of maple syrup or honey to your taste, especially if your peaches are very sweet or less sweet.
What You Need for Peach Cobbler Oats
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond or soy)
- ½ cup chopped fresh or frozen peaches
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1 teaspoon chia seeds for extra thickness
⏱️ Time: 5 mins prep, 4+ hours chill🍽️ Yields: 1 serving
How to Make Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats
Step 1: Combine Dry Items
In a jar or container with a lid, add the rolled oats, cinnamon, salt, and chia seeds (if using). Stir them together well to make sure the spices are evenly spread.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients & Peaches
Pour in the milk and maple syrup. Add the chopped peaches on top. Gently stir everything until the oats are fully wet and the peaches are mixed in.
Step 3: Chill Overnight
Place the lid on your container and put it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, so the oats can soften and absorb the liquid.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
The next morning, give your oats a quick stir. If they are too thick, add a splash more milk. Serve chilled, maybe with a few extra peach slices or a sprinkle of granola for added crunch.
📝 Final Note on Peach Oats
These peach overnight oats will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Prepare a few at once for easy breakfasts all week!
Pear Crumble Overnight Oats for a Cozy Breakfast
Imagine the warm, spiced goodness of a pear crumble, but for breakfast and without the baking. This pear overnight oats recipe is comforting and incredibly easy to make, perfect for colder mornings.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Pear Overnight Oats
- Picking Pears: Bosc or Bartlett pears work well here as they hold their shape and offer a good amount of sweetness. Make sure they are ripe but still firm.
- Spice it Up: Nutmeg complements pears beautifully. You can also add a tiny pinch of ginger or allspice for extra warmth if you like.
- Top with Crunch: For that “crumble” feeling, add a spoonful of granola, chopped walnuts, or pecans right before serving.

- ¾ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
