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.
