I love breakfast in all forms, but there’s something really wonderful about a breakfast that you make the night before.
Why I love this recipe:
These Peach Overnight Oats sing with the sweetness of fresh peaches, and they come together quickly the night before.
Not only are these easy to make, but they’re also versatile. Here are a few things I love about ‘em:
- Double the recipe to make enough for the week… or make a batch for you and two others the night before any morning. If you’re making them for the week, make sure to use extra thick cut oats because otherwise, they could get a little soggy.
- Use fresh or frozen peaches. Obviously, I dig the fresh peaches in this recipe, but if you can’t find them, defrost some frozen peaches to use. They’ll be sweeter than what you can find in the store if it’s not peach season.
- Sweeten it up. If you like sweeter overnight oats, add a drizzle of maple syrup to give these beauties a pop of sweetness.

What you need to make these vegan overnight oats

- Liquid measuring cup
- 8 oz. mason jars (or larger)
- Blender or food processor
Let’s talk ingredients!
In addition to the tools above, you’re going to need some ingredients to make this recipe, too! Chances are, you might already have some of them in your fridge or pantry. Scroll down to the recipe card for the full measurements and instructions.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Rolled oats—these are the best. We purchase these extra thick rolled oats * (affiliate link) from Bob’s Red Mill, and they don’t get soggy so quickly. Old fashioned oats work, as well. I do not recommend using steel cut oats or instant oatmeal.
- Milk—I like to use cashew milk in these overnight oats because that sits well with my tummy (it also makes these overnight oats vegan). However, you can use another non-dairy milk (or a nut-free milk, if necessary) or even use cow’s milk.
- Peaches—fresh or frozen work here!
Additional optional toppings and additions to consider:
- Fresh peach slices
- Toasted pecans
- Nut butter, like peanut butter or almond butter
- Maple syrup—if you want your overnight oats to be on the sweeter side. Be sure to taste strawberries before you mix the ingredients because they might be sweet enough on their own!
How to make Peach Overnight Oats
In a blender, add the peaches and blend until smooth. If it’s not peach season and your peaches are not super sweet, consider adding 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup to this mixture to add a bit more sweetness.
To make overnight oats in the jars: Combine 1/3 cup of peach puree, 1/3 cup of cashew milk and 1/3 cup of oats in an 8 oz. mason jar. Repeat twice, seal the lid on and shake vigorously before refrigerating overnight.
To make overnight oats in a bowl: Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir until combined, then transfer into the three 8 oz. mason jars. Seal and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, enjoy with toasted pecans and additional sliced peaches.
A note on variations and substitutions:
Milk: I make this recipe with unsweetened cashew milk, but you could use any other nut milk (like almond milk), dairy-free and nut-free milk (like soy or oat milk) or even cow’s milk. Be sure to choose an unsweetened non-dairy milk if you go that route, as the peaches should add enough sweetness by themselves!
Sweetness: If it’s not peach season, consider adding 1-2 teaspoons of pure maple syrup to the peach mixture in the blender to add a little extra sweetness. You can also use frozen peaches, slightly defrosted, if you can’t find good fresh peaches.
Toppings: If you’re feeling decadent, add toasted shredded coconut, toasted nuts or nut butter, or even a few dark chocolate chips to your overnight oats in the morning. You can add chopped strawberries or any other fruit you have on hand, too!
Frequently Asked Questions
Overnight is best, but you only really need 2-4 hours for the liquid mixture to really soak into the oats.
Overnight oats are packed with protein and fiber!
Yes, you can. We blend up fresh peaches and them combine their puree with cashew milk to create the liquid base for this overnight oat recipe, but you can add more when serving them. You could also substitute the peaches for another ripe stone fruit, or you could make a recipe like these Strawberry Overnight Oats or Cherry Overnight Oats.
I use 8 oz. glass mason jars for these overnight oats. In the morning, I’ll eat the straight out of the jar. If I’m feeding my children, I will pour the oats into a bowl and add whatever toppings the girls want to them.
Yes, you can. Chances are, the oats will be a little crunchy, but that’s OK if you don’t mind it.
Rolled oats are the best. Old fashioned oats work, as well. I do not recommend using steel cut oats or instant oatmeal.
So long as you’re not using instant oats, they’ll last 3-4 days easily. We’ve stretched ours to last all week, too, by using extra thick rolled oats * (affiliate link).
