Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Old-Fashioned Oats: I used whole old fashioned oats but you can use quick oats if you’d like. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can blend the oats to roughly chop them. Don’t use steel cut oats!
- Dairy Free Milk: I used unsweetened soy milk because it adds a bit of extra protein, but you can use your favorite type of plant-based milk. My favorites are almond milk, coconut milk and oat milk.
- Sweetener: For the oats themselves, feel free to use your favorite sweetener. You can use pure maple syrup or agave nectar. For the crisp topping, it’s best to stick with a granulated sweetener.
- Chia Seeds: You can omit the chia seeds, but if you have them on hand, I do highly recommend using them. This hack really helps create a thicker, more chia pudding-like consistency.
- Dairy-Free Yogurt: I love topping this recipe with a dollop or two of vegan yogurt. You can use any thick dairy free yogurt or greek yogurt. My absolute favorite in this recipe is Siggi’s Plant Based Vanilla Cinnamon Yogurt.
- Protein Powder: For a high protein breakfast or snack, add in a scoop or two of your favorite protein powder. I recommend using a vanilla powder for the best flavor. Just keep in mind…if your protein is sweetened, you may want to omit the sugar in the oat mixture.
- Fresh Peaches: I used ripe, in season peaches but you could definitely use canned peaches.
Helpful Equipment
Here are a few tools that will make creating this recipe extra easy:
- Mason Jars or an Airtight Container: For storing the oats.
- Mixing Bowl: I find it easier to mix a large batch up in a bowl vs. measuring out individual portions in each jar.
- Whisk or Spatula: For mixing the oats.
- Large Skillet or Saucepan: For cooking the peaches.
Step-by-Step Instructions
🍑 *Ingredient Quantities are in the Recipe Card Below!*
STEP 1: In a bowl, whisk together the oats, chia seeds, coconut sugar, and cinnamon.
STEP 2: Add the dairy free milk and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine, cover and store in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight.
STEP 3: In a small bowl, mix together the crisp ingredients until they form a crumbly texture.
STEP 4: Make the peaches by melting the 1 tsp coconut oil over low to medium heat. Add the peach slices and cinnamon. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened.
STEP 5: Roughly chop ⅓ of the cooked peach mixture and mix into the overnight oats.
Serving & Storage
After 3-4 hours or the next morning, it’s time to assemble the oats and enjoy them! You can layer the cooked peaches and thickened oats in an individual jar.
Then when ready to serve, spoon the prepared crisp topping on each jar. I love adding a tiny dollop of vegan coconut yogurt on top (kind of like whipped cream or ice cream on a real peach crisp).
This recipe is such a delicious way to use ripe summer peaches and it makes a great meal prep breakfast. You can keep the prepared jars in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Helpful Tips for the Best Overnight Oats
❶ Whisk the Dry Ingredients First: Be sure to whisk the dry ingredients first before adding the dairy free milk. This makes sure all the cinnamon is evenly distributed. This is especially important if you’re adding in a scoop of protein powder!
❷ Adjust the Amount of Liquid to Preference: If you’ve never made overnight oats before I recommend starting with 1 1/4 cup of dairy free milk. You can always add a splash or two of non-dairy milk once the oats have thickened if you prefer a thinner texture.
❸ Add the Crisp Topping Last: To prevent the crisp topping from going soggy, I definitely recommend spooning it on last. You can keep extra in an airtight container or a small ziplock bag until ready to serve.
