Dessert for Breakfast? Yes, Please
These Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats combine sweet peaches, warm cinnamon, and vanilla with creamy oats and a touch of maple syrup for a dessert-like breakfast that’s still good for you.
Easy to prep ahead, it’s perfect for summer or any time of year using frozen or canned fruit. Naturally dairy-free and gluten-free, it’s a cozy, nourishing way to start your day.
What You’ll Need
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/3 cup diced fresh, frozen, or canned peaches (drained if using canned)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt
Optional Toppings:
- Sliced or diced peaches
- Granola or crushed graham crackers
- Toasted pecans or walnuts
- A dollop of yogurt or coconut whipped cream
- A drizzle of maple syrup
Pro Tips
- Use ripe, juicy peaches – If they’re in season, go fresh. If not, thaw frozen peaches or rinse canned peaches to reduce added sugars.
- Layer for visual appeal – Add diced peaches between layers of oats for that cobbler-like texture and look.
- Don’t skip the cinnamon and nutmeg – These spices give you that warm, comforting cobbler flavor.
- Chill overnight for best texture – Four hours minimum is fine, but overnight yields creamier oats.
- Top just before serving – This keeps granola or graham crackers nice and crunchy.
Tools You’ll Need
- Mason jar or airtight container
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spoon or spatula
- Small bowl (optional for peach prep)
- Refrigerator
Substitutions and Variations
- Dairy-free? Use plant-based yogurt like almond, soy, or coconut.
- No maple syrup? Use honey, agave, or date syrup.
- Want more protein? Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or increase Greek yogurt to 1/3 cup.
- Gluten-free? Make sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
- Extra indulgent? Stir in a few crushed graham crackers or vanilla granola to mimic cobbler topping.
Make-Ahead Tips
These oats are meal prep friendly and can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you’re prepping several jars at once, keep crunchy toppings in a separate container to avoid sogginess.
For quick weekday mornings, make 3–5 jars ahead of time. They’re perfect for lunchboxes, commutes, or as a post-gym snack.
How to Make Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats
1. Prep the Peaches
Dice your peaches into small chunks. If using frozen, thaw first. If using canned, drain well and pat dry.
2. Mix the Base
In a mason jar or bowl, stir together the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and sea salt until well combined.
3. Fold in Peaches
Gently fold in the diced peaches. You can layer them throughout or stir them into the base.
4. Let Chill
Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
5. Add Toppings and Serve
In the morning, give the oats a quick stir and top with extra peach slices, granola, nuts, or coconut whipped cream.
Leftovers and Storage
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If the oats thicken too much, stir in a splash of milk before serving. Keep crunchy toppings separate until you’re ready to eat to maintain texture.
This recipe is great for batch prep—just multiply ingredients and mix in a large bowl, then portion into individual jars.
