Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats

Serves 4 · 15 min prep · 5 min cook

Ingredients

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 3 medium diced ripe peaches
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Instructions

1. 1In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole milk, and Greek yogurt, stirring until every oat is coated and the mixture looks creamy. Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, mixing thoroughly so the spices bloom into the liquid.
2. 2Dice two of the ripe peaches into small pieces and fold them gently into the oat mixture so juicy pockets are distributed throughout. Spoon the mixture evenly into four jars or bowls, leaving a little headspace at the top.
3. 3Cover each container tightly and refrigerate overnight, or at least 6 hours, until the oats have softened and thickened into a spoonable cobbler-like texture. The peaches will release their juices and sweeten the oats naturally.
4. 4Just before serving, dice the remaining peach and set it aside for topping. In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped pecans in the melted butter for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, stirring constantly so they do not burn.
5. 5Drizzle the honey over the toasted pecans and toss quickly to coat them in a glossy glaze, then remove from heat. The mixture should smell like warm Southern peach cobbler topping.
6. 6Give each jar of oats a quick stir to loosen the texture if needed. Spoon the fresh diced peach over the top of each portion, then scatter the warm honey-butter pecans generously across the surface.
7. 7Serve chilled straight from the fridge for a grab-and-go weekday breakfast, or let the jars sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if you prefer a softer, more cobbler-like bite. Pass extra honey at the table for anyone who wants a sweeter finish.
