A comforting and creamy overnight oats recipe featuring a warm, caramelized baked peach compote that elevates simple oats into a cozy breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240ml) – almond or oat milk recommended
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120g) – dairy-free yogurt can be used
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium fresh peaches, sliced (can substitute nectarines)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a baking dish, toss sliced peaches with 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Spread evenly.
  2. Bake peaches for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  3. While peaches bake, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup milk, ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Stir well.
  4. Once peach compote is cool enough to handle but still warm, spoon a layer into jars or containers. Top with oat mixture, then add more compote on top.
  5. Seal jars and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soak and absorb flavors.
  6. Serve cold or warmed gently. Optionally, add extra yogurt or toasted nuts on top.

Notes

Use frozen peaches thawed if fresh are not in season. For thicker oats, reduce milk or add more oats. The baked peach compote can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in the fridge. Avoid overbaking peaches to keep slices tender but intact. Stir oats mixture well to prevent clumps. Vanilla extract enhances flavor significantly. Dairy-free substitutions include coconut yogurt and coconut oil.
