Peaches-n-Cream Overnight Oatmeal
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats use gluten free, organic if possible
- 2 tbsp chia seeds organic preferably
- ¾ cup almond or other plant milk of your choice homemade or good quality store bought
- 2 tbsp plain unsweetened plant yogurt I use full fat cashew yogurt, coconut is good too
- ½ medium fresh peach, diced or use frozen
- 1-2 tbsp walnuts or any nuts of your choice optional
- 1 tsp maple syrup or sweetener of your choice optional, I didn't use any as the peaches were quiet sweet
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl or mason jar, combine plant milk, vanilla and and chia seeds. Stir to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes to absorb the liquid a little.
- Add oats and diced peaches. Stir well, slightly mashing the peaches with spoon to make it creamy. Now add plant yogurt on top and swirl into the oats. Leave some big clumps to create a creamy texture — they’re delicious the next day when its chilled! Secure with a lid if using a jar and place in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- The next day, add your preferred toppings. I like chopped walnuts, also a couple tbsp of granola is delicious. Enjoy!
Notes
OPTIONAL
- For quick warm cooked oats, heat the overnight oats in the microwave for 45-60 seconds. If placed in a jar make sure there's enough room at the top of your jar to allow for expansion and prevent overflow, and that it’s a microwave-safe container.
- Alternatively, transfer the overnight oats to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until warmed through. You may need to add more liquid if oats seem too thick/dry, chia seeds are very thirsty and absorb a lot of liquid.
- Overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for 2- at most3 days, though best within the first 12-24 hours. It never lasts that long in my fridge haha!
- Overnight oats are not freezer friendly.
