This easy overnight oatmeal is loaded with flavor from fresh peaches and crystallized ginger. And it only takes a few simple ingredients to put it together.
My husband’s parents visited us this week and we ate at many restaurants. A lot. And even though I kept trying to remember to photograph my meals, whenever my plate arrived at the table, I inevitably forgot.
So this week hasn’t resulted in many food ideas. But this did results in this overnight oats recipe! And I think this might be the easiest oatmeal recipe I’ve made yet.
Since peaches are in season, I’ve already made this a few times this week. And it tastes like summer!
Oh, and this recipe is totally vegan too!
How to make peach overnight oats
Overnight oats are one of the easiest breakfasts we make these days. I love being able to throw together a few ingredients in the evening and wake up to a delicious (and vegan) breakfast that I can grab and go!
Here’s how to do it:
Stir together a diced peach, ½ cup oatmeal, ½ cup almond milk (I like to use vanilla flavor for these recipes), and about a teaspoon of chopped crystallized ginger in a bowl. can close
Refrigerate overnight. Stir and eat it the next morning. That simple!
If the peach was ripe enough, you wouldn’t even need to add any sweetener. But if you want a little more sweetness, add some brown sugar, honey (which is not vegan) or agave syrup.
Tips and variations
I like to mix one diced peach straight into the oatmeal, and in the morning, stir in my oats with some extra fresh peach slices. You can choose to mix all the peaches together or use them all as a topping, if you prefer.
You can use any milk of your choice for this recipe. I prefer to keep mine vegan, so I use almond milk, but any plant milk will work just fine. Oat milk, soy milk and cashew milk are good choices. And if you’re not vegan, regular dairy milk works too.
For the toppings, you can use fresh peaches or you can mix them up and also try shredded coconut flakes or mixed nuts. If you have a favorite overnight oat topping, let me know in the comments!
