Notes
Overnight oats are great for up to 3 days in the fridge. I like to wait until the morning to add the fruit as sometimes it can start to go bad in the fridge.Can you use frozen peaches?
Yes! I often use frozen peaches. Let them defrost in the fridge overnight so they are ready in the morning.
Frozen peaches can often not be as sweet as fresh, ripe peaches, which is why I suggest you add some maple syrup or honey to these overnight oats.
You could also use canned or jarred peaches, however you will want to check the ingredients, as they can sometimes be full of added sugar or unwanted ingredients.
Top tips
Old fashion or rolled oats are best. You can also use instant or quick oats but you may find that the texture is a bit different. I do not recommend using steel cut oats as they do not get the same texture.
Stir as you go so that things are evenly mixed and you don't have dry oats at the bottom or a clump of chia seeds.
If you are using a sweetened yogurt, you may not need to add any honey or maple syrup.
Chia seeds are used to thicken up the soaking liquid. If you don’t like chia seeds because they get stuck in your teeth, you can grind them in your high speed blender (I do this anytime I make chia pudding
