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!

Can this be made with instant oats instead? My daughter is gluten and dairy free so I was going to replace the milk with unsweetened vanilla almond milk but the only plain gluten free oatmeal I could find was the quick 1-min oats by Quaker…also if I am substituting honey or maple syrup for the brown sugar do I still use 1 Tbsp?
Yes you can.
So delicious! I didn’t have the granola to put on top but it was still amazing!
We always cook the oatmeal on stovetop and then add a small dip of vanilla ice cream on top to melt over it. So good. Cant eat it every day but it doesn’t hurt now and then. We actually eat this for dinner Sometimes in the winter.
Best oatmeal I’ve ever had! My hubby ate it in a blink of an eye!
This looks amazing and so simple. Thanks!
I’m totally with you girl. I would LOVE to have dessert for breakfast but my jeans say otherwise lol. This sounds like the perfect way to have the best of both worlds!
I ADORE peaches!! And paired with oatmeal is a match made in heaven. New breakfast favourite. Thanks!
This is fantastic. I am always after new oatmeal ideas for breakfast and the fact that this tastes like peach cobbler is a huge plus for me.
I love this recipe! I have peaches sitting on my counter that were so tasty in this. I am making the overnight version next.
The best breakfast! We love making oatmeal and the peaches were such a great flavor!
