Since we’re still kicking it around 90 degrees here in Michigan, I’ve been loving overnight refrigerator oats. It is nothing more than the combination of oats, yogurt, and milk with any seasonal fruits and your favorite spices. In celebration of peach season, I decided to make this Peaches and Cream Overnight Oats to really embrace summer.

Juicy, ripe locally grown peaches are folded into the oats and served on top along with chopped walnuts for added texture, protein and healthy fats. Since it can be prepped up to 4 days ahead of time, breakfast is on the table faster than you can say “oatmeal.”

Ingredients

Labeled ingredients for peaches and cream overnight oats on a white counter.
  • Oats: Full of fiber and protein, I use rolled oats for this recipe.
  • Yogurt: I like to use vanilla Greek yogurt for flavor with added protein.
  • Milk: I use low fat cow’s milk, but you can use non-dairy milks as well.
  • Peaches: Juicy and naturally sweet in every bite.
  • Warm spices: Cinnamon and nutmeg add warmth and antioxidants to the oats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are rolled oats and old fashioned oats the same?

Yes! They are made exactly the same way, just having two names.

How long do you actually have to wait for overnight oats?

If you can give them 8 hours, your overnight oats will be the most creamy and best texture. But for them to be enjoyable to eat, you just need to let your oats soak for at least 2 hours.

What can I use to flavor my overnight oats?

Fresh or dried fruit always adds a great, natural sweetness. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice are great to mix in. Flavor them like you would oatmeal with honey, brown sugar, or maple syrup. Try mixing in nut butters, like peanut butter or almond butter, and cocoa powder.

      Yes that’s correct. They “cook” overnight in the liquid!

    Sounds delicious. I make oatmeal that tastes like Oatmeal Cookies. Want the Recepies? It was a great way to get my kids to eat oatmeal, which was a staple when they were growing up.

    Can you use frozen peaches? Should I thaw them first, then add to oat mixture to soak overnight or just toss them in frozen and they will thaw by the morning?

    1. Liz DellaCroce Avatar
      Liz DellaCroce

      Yes you can use them – they will thaw overnight in the fridge!

    WAY too much nutmeg, definitely cut it to at least 1/2 tsp.

    I don’t know why, but I can eat hot stovetop oats at ANY time of year, even in this hot weather! I guess I’m weird ;) But I love the peaches and cream combo in these oats, must try! :)

    I love overnight oats. I often add peaches in the morning, but it is such a good idea to allow them to marry with the other flavors overnight too.

      I tried it both ways and thought it was better the next day but I think either work!

    I’m a huge fan of overnight oats, and just happen to have a bunch of peaches that we bought at a farm market. Definitely want to make these.

        Threw this together last night and had it this morning – this is a wonderful recipe, definitely a keeper. I did add a little protein powder, and cut the nutmeg to about ½ teaspoon, which was plenty for my tastes. This was a great way to use the last of my farm stand peaches.

          Great idea to add the protein powder!!

    I love that this recipe does not contain chia seeds! So many overnight oats call for them and im not a fan! Looks delicious!

      I’m not a HUGE fan either. I like them but they’re not my first pick.
