Peach Overnight Oats are creamy and light, soaked overnight in milk and yogurt. Topped with caramelized peaches and a quick streusel, they’re the perfect mix of sweetness and crunch.
Peach Overnight Oats
When peaches are in season, I can’t get enough of them, especially in desserts like peach pie and cobbler.
To avoid eating half a pie, I added them to my go-to breakfast: overnight oats. This is my first fruit-filled oat recipe, and it’s a winner! Creamy oats with caramelized peaches and streusel—like dessert for breakfast!
While this recipe takes more time than most, it’s worth it. If you’re short on time, skip the streusel and caramelizing the peaches—just stir them in for a simpler version. It’s still delicious!
Let’s talk yogurt
The key ingredient in overnight oats is the yogurt. I love using Greek Gods® Honey Vanilla Yogurt (not sponsored), but any yogurt you enjoy plain will work.
If you don’t like it straight from the container, you probably won’t love the flavor in the Peach Overnight Oats.
I recommend full-fat Greek yogurt with honey or vanilla for the best flavor and texture. Full-fat yogurt thickens the oats much better than low-fat varieties.
Other ingredients
- Milk: Any milk works here, but I like unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
- Oats: Old-fashioned oats are best for texture. Steel-cut oats are too chewy, and quick oats absorb more liquid, leaving less texture.
- Maple syrup: My go-to sweetener for overnight oats. Adjust the amount to your taste, but I recommend 1 to 2 tbsp. Liquid stevia is a zero-calorie alternative.
- Vanilla: Adds a nice flavor boost, though not essential if you don’t have it.
- Salt: A pinch enhances flavors and balances the ingredients.
- Cinnamon: A sprinkle complements the peaches and oats!
Quick Tip
If you love these Peach Overnight Oats, be daring and try a different fruit! You can use apples, raspberries, or pears with delicious results!
Peach Overnight Oat Toppings
Peaches: Use ripe, fresh peaches for the best taste. To check if a peach is ripe, gently squeeze it. If it gives a little, it’s ripe or almost ripe.
Look for a deep yellow color and a sweet peach smell. Wrinkled skin around the stem shows it’s ripe, but avoid peaches that are too wrinkled, as they’re overripe.
Streusel: The streusel topping adds a nice crunch and flavor contrast.
Storage
Store peach overnight oats in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll last for up to 3 days.

Recipe Notes
Nutrition
Nutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.
Way too sweet and way too watery. I had to double the amount of oats and start all over again. Not happy at having ingredients go to waste.
Shoot sorry you didn’t enjoy this recipe!
Is there any recommended substitute for coconut oil? It is a bit over my budget usually ….
Hi Allison! Feel free to use butter (or margarine) in the place of coconut oil in these 🙂
Hi Chelsea,
Is this recipe able to use another fruit other than peaches? Like apples or raspberries? Thanks!
Hey Megan! Absolutely!! I would just say to add the fruit in the morning 🙂
I’m such a sucker for peaches. LOVE them. And now I can’t stop thinking about these overnight oats. This is a breakfast I would HAPPILY wake up for!
Overnight oats are the BEST. They’re pretty much like dessert for breakfast, especially like this peach streusel version you’ve made! Looks awesome, Chelsea! 😀
streusel topped overnight oats ?!?? You are just too awesome, Chelsea!
These peach overnight oats look divine!!
I love the idea of overnight oats and that peaches are involved. Yummy.
These overnight oats look so delicious! I for some reason have never had overnight oats, but they look like a delicious and nutritious breakfast idea.
I’ve never wanted to make overnight oats before, but these have me singing a different tune- plus I have peaches in the fridge!
