Make this peach overnight oats for a healthy breakfast that tastes like dessert. Every bite is filled with creamy peach and cinnamon flavor. 

This peach overnight oats recipe has a simple, 3-minute step that puts this recipe in the breakfast hall of fame. Are you ready?

Peaches and Cream Overnight Oats

I dare you to make these creamy peach overnight oats and compare them to the “just throw the peaches and the oats in a jar” recipes on the internet. One quick step is all it takes to up the game. Before combining oats and peaches, I sauté peaches to give every bite a delicious “peach cobbler” flavor. 

In the morning, you’ll have a delicious peach breakfast waiting for you! Start to finish, less than 10 minutes to get the job done. Trust me, you won’t ever buy those packets of peach-flavored oats again.  

Ingredients

You’ll need coconut oil, cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla to sauté the peaches (fresh, canned, or frozen). To assemble this breakfast, grab old-fashioned oats, ground flax, and dairy or non-dairy milk. If you want your overnight oats creamier, you can add Greek or non-dairy yogurt.

How to Make Peach Overnight Oats

Here are the three simple steps to make overnight oats with peaches for the most delicious morning meal:

  1. Sauté the peaches with cinnamon in a saucepan until the fruit begins to break down. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  2. Combine the oats, ground flax, and milk in a jar. Top the mixture with the cooked peaches and seal.
  3. Refrigerate overnight or for up to 2 days. 
  4. Enjoy the oats from the jar (chilled) or give them a quick warm in the microwave. 

Canned Peaches, Frozen or Fresh?

Canned and fresh peaches both work for these overnight oats. If you have a can in the pantry, use it! Reduce the maple syrup in this recipe, since most canned peaches are sweeter than fresh ones. Like my Mango Overnight Oats recipe, you can also choose to use frozen fruit!

Watch how it’s made:

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 3 very ripe peaches, sliced and diced small
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 2 teaspoons ground flax
  • 3 cups milk, dairy or non-dairy alternative

Instructions

Cook the peaches:

  • In a small non-stick pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced peaches to the heated pan and begin to sauté. Sprinkle with cinnamon and cook until they begin to break down a little and release some of the juices, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract, stir to combine, and cook for another minute, remove from heat.

Combine:

  • Add ½ cup oats, ½ teaspoon ground flax, and ¾ cup milk into 4 glass jars. Divide the cooked peach mixture evenly inside each glass jar. Stir to combine and top with the lid.

Refrigerate:

  • Refrigerate for 8 hours and for up to 2 days. Enjoy the oats chilled or give them a quick warm in the microwave.

Notes

  • Make them creamier by adding 1 tablespoon of Greek or non-dairy yogurt to each overnight oat jar, then stirring to combine.
  • If you use canned peaches, drain the syrup from the can and reduce the maple syrup in this recipe to 1 tablespoon since most canned peaches are sweeter than fresh peaches.

    Does it have to be a mason jar? Or any container? And what would you suggest other than maple syrup I can’t stand the taste or smell of it not going to ruin peaches and cream with that (that and it’s too sweet) – would a simple syrup work I saw someone used nectar.

      You can use any container you like, Alicia. I would suggest maybe brown sugar? oh yes, caramelized peaches.. yum!

      Hi Alicia, you can store your homemade syrup in any container/jar. Omit the maple syrup or use honey.

    I really like this recipe. Sautéing the peaches really brings out the sweetness. I used steel cut oats, and while I personally thought they were a little more al dente than I would go for, it didn’t take away from how much I like this. I used agave nectar since I didn’t have syrup. I also used a 50/50 mix of 2% milk and heavy cream the first time I made this, and half-and-half the second time. Both times it was creamy and delicious.
