Peach overnight oats are just like having dessert for breakfast. They are naturally sweet, filling and delicious.
Peaches are in season in July and August, so I stock up and start to make everything with peaches as soon as they make an appearance. First up is peach and blueberry overnight oats, the perfect blend of summer fruits and oatmeal for a nutritious breakfast.
Make up a few jars at one time, or a large batch and breakfast is ready to go. One less thing to worry about on those busy mornings!

Ingredients Notes
The Oats
The best type of oats to use for overnight oats are old fashioned rolled oats, especially if you are soaking them overnight or longer. They are the perfect texture.
You can also use quick oats if you in a hurry, they can be ready in an hour. I don't recommend letting the quick oats soak for longer than one night unless you like mushy oatmeal.
I have not tried steel cut oats to make overnight oats so I cannot recommend them.
Water
Most recipes for overnight oats use milk or nut milk, but I prefer to use water. When water is combined and soaks the oats, it turns milky and is creamy enough. If you prefer super creamy overnight oats, you can replace the water with your favorite milk, or add a tablespoon of yogurt.
Recipe Tips
Heating Overnight Oats
Overnight oats can be eaten cold right out of the refrigerator, at room temperature or you can heat them in the microwave at 30 second increments until they are warm throughout.
Storing Overnight Oats
You can store overnight oats covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The longer they sit in the fridge, they softer they will become.
Freezing overnight oats is not recommended.

I've never made overnight oats before or used chia seeds actually. I should make this recipe to cross both of those items off my culinary checklist 😉
