Peach Pie Overnight Oats: A Cozy, No-Cook Breakfast You’ll Love

Peach pie overnight oats hold a special place in my heart—and my fridge. I’m Jamie Willow, founder of Easy Dish Guide, and my love affair with overnight oats began years ago during long hospital night shifts here in Asheville. Back then, I needed something practical, nourishing, and quick between rounds. One night, I layered chopped peaches, cinnamon, vanilla, and oats into a jar, hoping to bring a little comfort to my day. The next morning, I took one bite and was instantly transported to my grandmother’s kitchen—sweet peaches bubbling in a cast-iron pie pan, warm spice in the air. That one jar transformed a simple act of ease into a meaningful daily ceremony.

Now in my late thirties and running Easy Dish Guide, I’ve refined that peach-inspired blend into a recipe that feels like dessert but fuels you for the day. These peach pie overnight oats are creamy, flavorful, and packed with just the right mix of protein, fiber, and fruit. Whether you’re juggling kids, classes, or just craving something that tastes like summer in a jar, this recipe is an easy win. In the rest of this article, I’ll show you exactly how to make it, how to customize it, and why it’s one of my most beloved breakfast staples.

How to Make Peach Pie Overnight Oats

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 4 fresh peaches, peeled and chopped (about 3 cups)
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 3/4 cups reduced-fat milk
• 1 cup nonfat peach strained Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract

This combo makes four servings of creamy, fruit-filled overnight oats that feel indulgent but are sneakily good for you. If you’re into creative twists, you might also enjoy my overnight oats with biscoff or the mango blended overnight oats—both are packed with bold flavors and easy to prep.

Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Make the peach filling
   In a small saucepan, combine the peaches, water, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Let it cook on medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, giving it an occasional stir, until the peaches soften and take on a rich, syrup-like consistency. Let this mixture cool for 10 minutes.
2. Mix your oats base
   Combine the oats, milk, peach yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla extract, the rest of the cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl, stirring until everything is evenly blended. Once the peach mixture has cooled, fold it in gently. For a chunkier texture, leave some peach pieces whole; for a smoother consistency, mash slightly as you mix.
3. Portion and chill
   Portion the mixture into four jars or lidded containers, making sure each one gets an equal share. Cover them tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least six hours or overnight. In the morning, you’ll have thick, spoonable oats with layers of peach flavor and spice.

Pro tip: These oats last for up to 4 days in the fridge, making them ideal for meal prep. Try pairing them one day with my gut-friendly overnight oats or alternating with overnight oatmeal with kefir to support digestion and variety throughout the week.

Why Peach Pie Overnight Oats Are Good for You

A Nourishing Start to Your Morning

Peach pie overnight oats aren’t just delicious—they’re a smart way to start your day. Each jar delivers a balance of slow-digesting carbs, fiber, healthy fats, and protein. The rolled oats provide complex carbohydrates and beta-glucan fiber, which supports heart health and keeps you full longer. Chia seeds add omega-3s and help thicken the texture naturally, while the peach yogurt gives a boost of probiotics and calcium.

The best part? You’re getting all the flavor of a sweet treat without refined flours or heavy cream. This recipe has about 12 grams of protein per serving and enough fiber to keep your digestion moving smoothly. If you’re aiming to support gut health, try rotating this recipe with options like overnight oats with flaxseed or indian spiced yogurt overnight oats for a delicious probiotic boost.

Easy to Customize for Any Diet

Whether you’re dairy-free, vegan, or gluten-sensitive, it’s easy to tweak this recipe. Swap the milk for oat or almond milk, use a plant-based peach yogurt, and double-check that your oats are certified gluten-free. Prefer extra protein? Add a scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder to the oat mixture—just reduce the milk slightly to keep the consistency creamy.

For more indulgence, top with crushed graham crackers or a spoonful of nut butter in the morning. For something more refreshing, stir in diced fresh peaches right before eating. Looking for more inspiration? My cottage cheese banana bread oats and maple and brown sugar oats offer similar comfort vibes with different flavor twists.

Serving Tips, Storage, and Creative Variations

How to Serve Peach Pie Overnight Oats

Peach pie overnight oats are best enjoyed cold straight from the fridge, especially on warm mornings. Give the jar a stir before serving to evenly distribute the fruit and oats. If you prefer a warm bowl, microwave your portion for 30–60 seconds, adding a splash of milk if needed.

For toppings, you can’t go wrong with a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, a spoonful of almond butter, or a dollop of extra peach yogurt. A handful of chopped nuts adds texture, while a drizzle of maple syrup gives it a dessert-like feel. You’ll find similar serving inspiration in my biscoff protein oats and the indulgent cinnamon roll overnight oats.

Storing and Reusing This Recipe

This recipe is perfect for meal prep. The oats stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days, making your mornings smoother all week long. Use sealed glass jars or containers for best texture and freshness. If prepping in bulk, wait to add crunchy toppings until just before eating.

You can also freeze portions for up to one month. Let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then give it a good stir before enjoying. If you’re rotating recipes, alternate with easy favorites like blueberry lemon muffin overnight oats or easy healthy layered overnight oats for variety without the extra planning.
