These vegan peach overnight oats remind me of Texas summer as a kid, with boxes of fresh peaches from the farmer's market sitting on the table. Except I don't have to sit and help peel them all. Peaches and cream oatmeal with cobbler vibes for breakfast? Yes, please.

🧄 Very useful ingredient notes
- Peaches - fresh peaches are sweet, tart and taste like summer. They're a delicious topping or mix-in for overnight oats. Use yellow or white peaches, whatever is in season, available to you and freshest.
- Rolled oats - Old-fashioned rolled oats is the way to go in this recipe. They still have some chewy texture after soaking (they don't turn to mush like quick oats can).
- Ground flax - Thickens the oatmeal
- Plant-based vanilla yogurt - Makes these extra creamy (and we want that for peaches and cream oats!) And, vanilla yogurt gives a whipped cream feeling to them, like you would use to top peach cobbler. What a delicious illusion.
📋 Substitutions and variations
Here are some suitable substitution options for the ingredients:
- Peaches - use frozen peaches instead of fresh (add them the night before, so they can thaw overnight). The frozen peaches are usually in slices, so you'll need to cut them into smaller pieces. You can also use canned diced peaches for this recipe!
- Maple syrup - use another sweetener like sugar, brown sugar, date syrup, agave nectar or coconut sugar instead. Amp up the peach flavor by using peach jam, preserves or jelly instead of a plain sweetener. Or, omit the added sweetener altogether.
- Flax - use chia seeds instead of ground flaxseed.
Here are some variation ideas for these peach overnight oats:
- Peaches and Cream - top with extra vanilla yogurt for your cream layer
- Brown Sugar Peach - use brown sugar instead of maple syrup
- Peach Vanilla Pecan - add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ cup chopped pecans
🔪 Instructions
Step-by-step instructions for how to make vegan peach overnight oats.
Add rolled oats to a pint-size mason jar or container that holds at least 2 cups.
Pour in plant-based milk.
Add maple syrup (or other preferred sweetener) to jar.
Add ground flaxseed (or chia seeds) to jar.
Add plant-based yogurt to jar.
It will look like this when you've added all your ingredients.
Screw on your lid and then shake it all up! Or, use a spoon to mix all the ingredients together. Place jar in refrigerator overnight or at least 2 hours. After mixing the oats, you can add your peaches now, or do it when you eat them.
When you're ready to eat them, pull it out of the fridge and eat cold or warm up in microwave for 30-60 seconds. Add your fresh peaches now, if you didn't add them before.
🥡 Make ahead and storage tips
Peaches and cream overnight oats are perfect for meal prep and batch cooking. Make them Sunday night to have breakfast ready to go all week long. Store overnight oats in the refrigerator, combined, for up to 5 days.
For best texture and flavor, mix fresh peaches in the day of or eat them within 3 days. If you add fresh peaches on top the day you eat them, the plain oats are good for 5 days.
This recipe doesn't do well being frozen.
