Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup diced peaches
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats and 1 cup of milk. Stir well to ensure that the oats are fully submerged in the milk.
- Add 1 cup of diced peaches to the bowl. You can use fresh or canned peaches, but if using canned, make sure they are drained well.
- Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of honey to sweeten the mixture. Adjust the amount of honey to your taste preference.
- Pour in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for added flavor. Stir the mixture gently until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator to chill overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the milk and flavors.
- In the morning, remove the oatmeal from the refrigerator. If desired, you can add a splash of milk to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Serve the Overnight Peaches Cream Oatmeal in bowls. You can top it with additional diced peaches, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
Tips
- Choose the Right Oats: Always use rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) for the best texture. Quick oats will become too mushy, and steel-cut oats won't soften properly.
- Milk Matters: Use whole milk for a creamier result, or try almond or oat milk for a dairy-free alternative. The higher fat content ensures a richer texture.
- Peach Perfection: Fresh, ripe peaches work best, but high-quality canned peaches are a great shortcut. Just be sure to drain them thoroughly.
- Customize Your Flavor: Experiment with add-ins like chia seeds, sliced almonds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to elevate your oatmeal.
- Storage Tip: These overnight oats can be prepared up to 3-4 days in advance, making them perfect for meal prep. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container.
