Let this set in the fridge over night to “sleep over.” You will have a perfect summer breakfast in a jar (made even better by using summer’s ripest peaches).
I found recipes for refrigerator oatmeal at The Yummy Life quite some time ago. I had it printed out and in a piled up heap of papers in the kitchen. But, have I told you I recently found Pinterest? N0? I am addicted.
I went through my pile of blog print-outs and posted pinned everything. Now, if I could just get enthused about tweeting and FB. 🙂
So, I was reminded about this recipe and wanted to try it with fresh peaches.
Fresh Peach “Over Night” Oatmeal Adapted from The Yummy Life
1/4 c. uncooked old fashioned rolled oats
1/3 c. 2% organic milk
1/4 c. low fat vanilla yogurt
1-1/2 t. dried chia seeds (or flax seeds)
1/4 t. almond extract
1/4 c. peach, peeled and diced
In a half pint jar or container, add oats, milk, yogurt, chia or flax seeds, and almond extract. Put lid on jar and shake until well combined. Add peaches and stir with fork until mixed throughout. Return lid to jar and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days.
A few ingredients.
You may need to stir again before eating. Serve chilled right out of the jar.
Super good.
The Hubs does not have a fondness for yogurt and he likes this! This is a great breakfast to enjoy while we are sitting on the patio in the mornings, listening to the bees buzz, spotting the occasional hummingbird, and watching the rabbits chase each other. In other words, it is the perfect summer breakfast.
It is also a great way to use our white peaches that we are now picking off our own tree.
Our white peach tree.
We are picking one or two a day so this is a perfect recipe to utilize them.
…or three.
I still have a few more Peach-palooza posts!
Please check out The Yummy Life. There are many fantastic recipes and flavors for this breakfast in a jar.
wow Peach tree!! I wish I could do more than just a few of herbs.
The oatmeal looks delicious. My husband loves oatmeal, this is sure the right one for him.
Yeah, Angie, we are really blessed to have these peaches. These trees are only two years old and last year we picked three!

This is really good! My local market has peaches by the basket and I think I might just have to buy a basket and freeze some so I can make this in the winter too!
Adding peaches may be the only way to get me to eat oatmeal 🙂 Actually, I don’t mind it, but it’s never anything I crave for breakfast…but all your add ins make it much more tempting!
White peaches are my favorite fruit. How lucky to pick a tree ripened peach–life just doesn’t get much better. This oatmeal looks fun–I’ll try it as soon as Utah peaches are ready.
This certainly is the peach season and we are able to get some good ones from Georgia (we live about 10 miles from the Ga line). A healthy way to enjoy peaches and oatmeal, great idea. I liked your previous post too about freezing peaches.
Lucky you to have those peaches. I love easy recipes. I wonder if Monkey Girl would eat this. If no, then more for me right? Do I see a peach cobbler recipe in the future?
Thanks for this recipe, Monica. I can’t tell you how much I love this stuff. You are an inspiration and so how many variations of this oatmeal do you have so far.

That is a great idea. I hadn’t thought to use my frozen peaches in this oatmeal.
Keep the peaches coming my friend – the title for this post is so adorable 😉
Gorgeous breakfast!

Thanks, CCU. There are a few more posts coming. Yeah, Peach-palooza!
I too have been meaning to try the overnight oats that I’ve seen plastered all over the interwebs … Looks so good, girl 🙂
Am having some now. (Late breakfast, obviously!)
that is such a clever idea! i love that you have a peach tree that you can ever so nonchalantly pluck fruit from – so jealous! 🙂
I could not believe we really got that many peaches off our two trees this year. If I had known, I would not have bought so many at the orchard!
Loving all the peach posts! This does sound like the perfect breakfast on a hot summer morning! 🙂
It is. And, it is really filling. I have been eating it all week and I only feel like a smidgen of a salad for lunch (which is a good thing!)

This is more like a thick, yogurty, fruity concoction. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill oatmeal.
Great idea! Have you tried heating it up (am thinking winter months). We love oatmeal!
I bet you could warm it up a bit in the microwave. Good idea.
Ooh, this looks yummy–not like a typical oatmeal at all. Good peaches have even started to filter into Alaska by now.
I’m glad you can get some fresh ones. There’s nothing better.

They are becoming my favorite too. I wish I could send you one now

Thanks, Tina. Georgia peaches? Aren’t they the best? (I don’t know, though, I might put some of these Okie peaches up against them! 🙂 )

If my hubs likes it (with the yogurt and all the rest of the healthy stuff), I bet your daughter would.
Oh wait, how much honey?
Oops, my bad. I took the honey out of the recipe list because I used vanilla flavored yogurt. I will shoot you an email too.
Wow does this sound good! How much honey did you use?
Again, my bad. Will send you an email too! 🙂
LOVE the peach flavor. Sounds so yummy. And, the “sleep over” name made me giggle. Very clever. 🙂
