We’re entering peak peach picking season and if you have some gorgeous ripe peaches on your kitchen counter right now, then this is the best time to make my Peaches & Cream Overnight Oats! If you’re like me and LOVE everything peaches n cream, this might be one of the best overnight oats recipes for you.
Ripe summer peaches are swirled into creamy vanilla protein oats. Simply divine!
We love overnight oats around here! Besides the amazing health benefits of overnight oats, l also like that they require very little prep time (really just minutes) and the fridge does the rest of the work for you! So convenient, especially in summer when you don’t feel like turning on the stove to make porridge.
Swoon! This summery protein overnight oats recipe is absolutely delicious and versatile! You can use any other stone fruit, like apricots, plums or cherries.
As with all of my high protein overnight oats recipes, these are packed with plant-based protein thanks to PESience protein powder! Having a serving of protein powder overnight oats is a simple and delicious way to sneak some more protein into your daily diet.
There is NO ADDED SUGAR in these, as the fresh chopped peaches already add a bit of sweetness to the oatmeal. If your peaches are not perfectly ripe and sweet, you can add a teaspoon of maple syrup.
I also added some chia seeds to the base. I love them because they add a bit of fiber, protein and omega-3 fatty acids and they help absorb some of the liquid making our oats extra creamy.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR MAKING THIS PEACHES AND CREAM OATS RECIPE:
- Certified gluten-free oats – if you are not celiac or gluten intolerant, like myself, you can use regular oats. I like bob’s red mill oats
- fresh peach – My peach was very ripe so I added no additional sweetener to this recipe.
- Almond milk is my preference for making overnight oats but any plant-based milk will work. Regular cow’s milk will work as well if you would prefer to use that.
- Chia seeds up the nutritional value and help thicken the mixture some more. If skip them but still want your oats nice and thick, you should reduce the amount of milk a bit or add more oats.
- Protein powder – I love stirring protein powder into my overnight oats to turn them into protein oats. My favorite protein powder on the market is PEScience, I use their Gourmet Vanilla flavor in almost all of my overnight and baked oat recipes.

- Greek Yogurt, cream cheese and white chocolate are combined to form the top layer aka the ganache
- toppings: for some crunch, I added some pumpkin seeds and homemade granola but any nuts or seeds will do. Hazelnuts, almonds, pecans, and pistachios also go very well with peaches.
WHICH OATS SHALL I USE FOR MAKING OVERNIGHT OATS?
While Instant oats work, I find Old-fashioned rolled oats are the best when it comes to the variety to use for overnight oats. They’ll give you that perfectly creamy, smooth texture with just the right amount of chew.
WHAT ELSE CAN I STIR INTO OVERNIGHT OATS?
It may be tempting to stir all kinds of nuts and fruit into the oats before you go to bed, but try to hold back and don’t add more than the recommended amount of fresh peach. Just like the oats, anything you add to the liquid is going to soak and soften so you’ll be left with too much mushy fruit. Instead, top the oats with more peaches and sprinkle granola on top in the morning.
