Ingredients

½ cup old fashioned oats
½ cup plain Greek-style yogurt
½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or other milk of choice)
1 tablespoon honey
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon almond extract
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
1 small peach diced
Optional topping: chopped toasted pecans

Instructions

In a small bowl or in a glass jar with a lid, stir together oats, yogurt, milk, honey, salt, almond extract, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Stir in the diced peach and cover with a lid.
Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 2 hours) so that the oats soften and absorb the liquid.
Just before serving, give it a stir and top with chopped pecans, if desired.

Notes

Overnight Oats Jar Size: I love using mason jars or the Weck jars that you see here for my oatmeal. The best size jar for this recipe is either the 16.9-ounce 1/2 liter tulip jar or the 1/2 liter mold jar (both shown in this post). These jars give you plenty of room to stir the oatmeal and add toppings!
Which oats are best for overnight oatmeal? I only use old fashioned (sometimes called "rolled") oats for this recipe. These oats absorb the liquid in the jar, become soft and chewy, while still maintaining a bit of texture. I do not recommend substituting with quick oats or steel cut oats.
Keep the overnight oats ratio in mind, and feel free to multiply the ingredients using the same ratio to prepare more than one jar at a time. You want equal proportions of oats, yogurt and milk.
Use the base of this recipe to create your own flavor combination! Instead of topping with pecans, try adding peanut butter, almond butter, or toasted almonds on top.
Swap out the peaches for other fruit instead. Try making Banana Overnight Oats, Blueberry Overnight Oats, or Strawberry Overnight Oats!
Prepare Chocolate Overnight Oats by adding unsweetened cocoa powder to the liquid mixture, or add a handful of chocolate chips. Garnished with a drizzle of peanut butter or some chopped peanuts on top, your breakfast will taste like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup!
I used plain, non fat Greek yogurt, but you can substitute with any yogurt that you prefer. Vanilla would add a great touch of flavor and sweetness!
Feel free to use any type of milk in lieu of the almond milk. Regular milk, cashew milk, or any other favorite will work!
If you don't have almond extract, you can substitute with vanilla extract.
Instead of honey, try sweetening the oats with maple syrup or agave syrup. Adjust the amount of sweetener to suit your preferences.
Prepare the oats in advance: This is a great "meal prep" option, since the oatmeal will stay fresh in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 5 days!
