Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt or coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large peach, diced (fresh or canned in juice)
- Ground cinnamon or nutmeg, for topping
Directions:
- Mix the Oats:
- In a medium bowl or a mason jar, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, yogurt or coconut cream, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure everything is fully mixed.
- Add the Peaches:
- Fold in the diced peaches, reserving a few pieces for topping if desired. Mix gently to distribute the peaches throughout the oat mixture.
- Refrigerate Overnight:
- Cover the bowl or seal the mason jar and place it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, becoming creamy and thick.
- Serve:
- In the morning, stir the oats well. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve the overnight oats cold, topped with the reserved peach pieces and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for added flavor.
