I can’t think of a better summer breakfast than my peach oatmeal. I swear it tastes like a peach crisp for breakfast plus it’s super nutritious. I eat a big bowl along with my morning coffee and feel like I’m having dessert. The oats are soft and creamy plus I sweeten the bowl up with a little brown sugar, warm spices, vanilla and peaches. Get your morning fix the right way.

Notes
Overnight Oats Method
Divide oats into 2 mason jars. Add 1 cup of milk to each mason jar. Then add each of the spices and sweetener. You can add the peaches now or wait until the morning.
Wait to add granola right before you get ready to eat it. Give the oats a splash of milk in the morning, if needed. Enjoy! You can use any sweetener you prefer. Feel free to replace brown sugar with maple syrup or honey.

Recipe Tips
- Keep the oats moist: They need lots of moisture or they will dry out. If you cook them longer, add 1/4 cup more milk as needed, up to 2 cups, to keep things smooth and creamy.
- In a rush? This recipe can also double as an overnight oats option! Mix together all the ingredients until well-combined then, pour out into two air-tight travel containers (like mason jars). Leave your mixture in the fridge overnight and just grab and go the next morning!

I made steel cut oats with the exact amount of milk I would ordinarily use. Then eyeballed the spices/sugar. Delicious
Wow! This was delicious! They only things I substituted water for milk, maple syrup for brown sugar and fresh peaches instead of canned. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe!
You’re so welcome! So glad you enjoyed!
I haven’t made this yet. I have a question about the oats to milk ratio. Usually I use twice as much liquid as oats. This recipe has it the other way around. Just wanted to double check with you that the ratio is correct and I should use two cups oats to one cup milk? It sounds amazing and I’m looking forward to trying it later today!
I tried this for breakfast this morning, so delicious! Thanks for sharing Jocelyn
