Peach Raspberry Overnight Oats Notes

This single-serving recipe scales easily for meal prep. In addition, you can double or triple quantities to make several jars for the week.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 3/4 cup unsweetened oat milk (see substitutions)
• 1/2 ripe peach, diced (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup)
• 1/3 cup fresh or thawed frozen raspberries
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey to taste

Instructions

1. In a 16-ounce jar or bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, oat milk, and vanilla. Stir until evenly mixed.
2. Gently fold in half of the diced peach and half the raspberries so fruit is distributed throughout.
3. Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight. Meanwhile the chia will thicken the oats.
4. The next morning, stir the oats. Top with the remaining peach and raspberries before serving.
5. Optional: add a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or 1 tablespoon chopped nuts for crunch.

Why This Breakfast Works

This recipe pairs whole grains and seeds with fresh fruit and plant-based milk. The oats provide sustained energy, while chia adds texture and helps the mixture set. Because the recipe uses minimal added sugar and no dairy, it keeps saturated fat modest. However, you can customize sweetness and toppings to suit appetite and taste.

Substitutions and Variations

For a thicker pudding-like texture, use 1 tablespoon extra chia or reduce the milk by 1 to 2 tablespoons. If you prefer a creamier base, replace half the oat milk with unsweetened soy milk.

Plant-forward swap: to avoid any milk, replace the oat milk with 3/4 cup water plus 2 tablespoons mashed banana or 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce for natural creaminess.

Fruit variations: substitute nectarines or blueberries, or use 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries instead of raspberries.

Save Time

• Prepare the make-ahead components earlier and refrigerate them until cooking or serving.

Storage

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before eating; if the mixture thickens too much, loosen with a splash of milk or water. For best texture, add fresh fruit at serving time rather than before extended storage.
