How to Make It

Easy steps to a delicious breakfast await!

Combine ingredients

Add dairy-free milk, vanilla, nut butter, maple syrup, salt, and chia seeds to a jar (wide-mouth is best) or small bowl with a lid. Stir to combine, leaving some bigger blobs of nut butter for texture.

Add oats and peaches

Include rolled oats and diced peaches, stirring well while slightly mashing the peaches. Dollop the coconut yogurt on top and swirl it into the oats, leaving some big clumps.

Chill overnight

Secure the container with a lid and place it in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight for the best results.

Serve with toppings

The next day, add your preferred toppings such as more peaches, granola, chopped almonds, coconut sugar, or freeze-dried peaches. Enjoy!

Optional warm

If you prefer warm oats, heat in the microwave for 45-60 seconds or in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Add more liquid if needed.
