These ultra creamy overnight oats are inspired by peach cobbler flavors but made with simple, healthy ingredients! They're ready in just 10 minutes and perfect for meal prep.
It's the season for all things peach! That means peach smoothies, peach bars and definitely peach cobbler overnight oats on hot summer mornings.
These oats are inspired by the warming spices found in peach cobbler but made with healthy ingredients.
I love to make a batch of overnight oats at the start of the week to keep on hand for quick breakfasts or an afternoon snack. This recipe makes 1 serving of overnight oats but it's easy to double, triple, etc.

Why you'll love this recipe
- Peach cobbler flavored: This recipe actually uses a lot of the same warming spices and ingredients as peach cobbler, but just a lot less sugar and more fiber and protein.
- Quick & easy: Made with 8 ingredients in 10 minutes.
- Cozy: We're not just adding diced peaches to overnight oats. The fresh peaches are sauteed with brown sugar and pecans to enhance their natural sweetness.
- High protein: This recipe uses peach Greek yogurt for an extra dose of peach flavor, protein, and creaminess. One serving has 28 grams of protein!
Ingredients
- Rolled oats, also know as old fashioned oats. Steel cut oats and instant oats do not work here.
- Milk of choice: Unsweetened, unflavored soy milk is my go-to but any kind works here.
- Peaches: Choose ripe peaches. I leave the skins on but you can remove them if you prefer.
- Greek yogurt: I like to use peach-flavored Greek yogurt for extra peachy flavor! Vanilla is also a good option and plain works if you want to cut down on added sugars.
- Pecans: I use whole pecans and roughly chop them up but you can also buy chopped pecans to save on prep time. Walnuts also work well. Omit pecans to make this recipe nut-free.
- Brown sugar can be omitted if you prefer naturally sweetened oats. Maple syrup and honey are also great options but I recommend adding these directly to the oats instead of the sautéing with the peaches.
- Ground cinnamon and ginger are two spices that go wonderfully with peaches!
Step-by-step instructions
I like to use wide-mouth pint-sized ball jars as containers but any medium-sized glass or container will do.
If you're making multiple servings it's easiest if you mix the ingredients directly in the jars instead of mixing them together in a large bowl and dividing them between jars.
- Step one: To each jar add the rolled oats, spices, Greek yogurt, and milk.
- Step two: Stir to combine.
- Step three: To prepare the peaches, heat a small pan over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the peaches, brown sugar and pecans. Cook for 3-4 minutes, moving frequently, until the peaches are softened and the pecans are toasted. This makes the peaches softer and juicer than if you were to add them straight to the oatmeal.
- Step four: Cover and refrigerate the peach overnight oats for at least 4 hours before enjoying.
Variations
- Make it vegan: Replace Greek yogurt with your favorite vegan yogurt. Soy and pea-protein based yogurts are usually highest in protein. Choose a non-dairy milk like soy, almond or oat milk.
- This recipe works with any stone fruit (plum, nectarine, etc.).
- More healthy add-ins: To each jar add 1 tablespoon ground flax seed or chia seeds for healthy fats. It will also thicken up the oats even more.
FAQ
In the summer I prefer them cold but you can heat them up if you prefer hot oatmeal. Either heat up over medium-low on the stovetop or heat in the microwave until warmed through, about 1-2 minutes.
Overnight oats are best enjoyed within 3-4 days. Keep refrigerated.
For soft oats wait at least 4 hours after refrigerating. This gives the oats time to absorb liquid and soften. They will get softer the longer they sit.
Definitely! Let them thaw completely before using. I would pop them in the microwave to do this but you can also just let them thaw in the fridge.
