A refreshing and creamy cold peach overnight oats recipe featuring cinnamon brown sugar and crunchy almonds, perfect for a quick and satisfying summer breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (whole milk or almond milk)
  • ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred)
  • 1 medium ripe peach, diced
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds (toasted if possible)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A tiny pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup rolled oats, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir to evenly distribute.
  2. Add ½ cup milk of choice and ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt to the dry mix. Stir thoroughly until oats are fully coated and sugar dissolves slightly.
  3. Dice 1 medium ripe peach into ½-inch pieces. Add peaches and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract to the oat mixture, folding gently.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons slivered almonds. If toasted, ensure they are cooled before adding.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container. Seal tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Optionally, sprinkle extra cinnamon and brown sugar or add fresh peach slices and almonds before serving.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get mushy and steel-cut oats take too long to soften. Toast almonds for extra flavor if desired. If peaches are not ripe, toss diced fruit with lemon juice and brown sugar before adding. Allow at least 6 hours refrigeration for best creaminess. Use coconut yogurt and plant-based milk for dairy-free version. Store leftovers up to 3 days in fridge; avoid freezing.
