Meal prepping overnight oats

Meal prepping peaches and cream overnight oatmeal is an easy way to have breakfast ready with minimal effort. Assemble your jars or containers in advance, and the oats will soften and thicken beautifully in the fridge, creating a creamy texture that’s perfect by morning—or after about 4 hours if you're short on time.
What's the best way to store overnight oatmeal?
Keep the oatmeal in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. The longer it sits, the thicker it gets, so add a splash of milk in the morning if needed to adjust the consistency.
Can you heat overnight oats?
While these oats are best enjoyed cold, if you prefer a warm, stovetop-style feel, add a little milk and heat in the microwave for about 60 seconds.
For added variety, top with extra diced peaches or granola just before serving to add texture and freshness.
Can you freeze overnight oats?
Freezing isn’t ideal for this recipe as it can alter the texture of the oats and peaches. Stick to making fresh batches for the best results.

FAQs
Using a mix of milk and yoghurt creates a creamier consistency. Adding chia seeds or protein powder also thickens and enhances the creaminess.
The oats absorb liquid overnight, so if they’re too thick, add a splash of milk in the morning and stir well to loosen them up.
No, chia seeds are optional but recommended. They help thicken the mixture and add a boost of fibre and nutrients. You can leave them out or replace them with flaxseeds.
Absolutely! Nectarines are an excellent substitute for peaches. They have a similar texture and sweetness, making them a perfect swap in this recipe.
