Key ingredients and swaps
- Oats: Use rolled oats for the best texture. Quick oats work fine, but they don’t have the same satisfying chew. Don’t use steel cut oats or instant oats.
- Milk: Use any milk you like — dairy, almond, soy, or oat all work well here. For the most protein, I love to use low-fat ultra-filtered milk or soy beverage.
- Greek yogurt: I used plain, low-fat yogurt, but you can use what you prefer.
- Vanilla whey protein powder: I like whey protein for its smooth texture and taste, but feel free to swap with whatever protein powder you love. Just make sure you enjoy the flavor, because you will definitely taste it. My go-to is Leanfit vanilla whey.
- Peaches: I highly recommend using canned peaches for their convenience and soft texture. Look for diced or sliced peached packed in water, with no added sugar if possible. Frozen or fresh work too.

Dietary modifications
- Dairy-free: Use dairy-free milk, yogurt, and a plant-based protein powder. You could also skip the yogurt all together and use 3/4 cup milk instead.
- Gluten-free: Make sure your oats are certified gluten-free.
- Lower sugar: This recipe is naturally low sugar. To make sure to keep sugars to a minimum, use canned peaches packed in water (not juice), plain Greek yogurt, and unsweetened milk.
How to make peach cobbler overnight oats
Step 1: Mix together milk, oats, yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 2: Transfer half to a jar or container. Then add half your peaches on top.
Step 3: Layer with remaining oats, then peaches. Cover and chill overnight. Enjoy for breakfast cold or warm, with any other toppings of choice!
Tips for success
- Use rolled oats. For the best texture, avoid instant, quick, or instant oats. Rolled oats soften perfectly while keeping some chew in tact, so they’re my preferred option for overnight oats.
- Use a protein powder you love. The taste and texture of your protein powder will come through, so make sure you use one you know and like. My favorite is Leanfit vanilla whey.
Storage instructions
Store your jar of overnight oats in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep them covered tightly for freshness.
Common questions
Yes, you can use frozen peaches in these overnight oats. If possible, thaw and drain excess liquid before layering with oats.
I like adding protein powder to overnight oats because it significantly boosts protein while also enhancing flavor. You can skip it if you want, but you may wish to add a few teaspoons of honey or maple syrup to add extra sweetness and flavor. I also recommend you download my list of the best high-protein foods.
Chia seeds help thicken overnight oats and add extra fiber (download this high-fiber foods list to learn more). You can skip them if needed, but they’re a great addition for texture and nutrition. If you’re trying to eat more chia but you’re not sure how, try my chocolate chia pudding or protein chia pudding.
Absolutely — just scale up the ingredients and store in individual jars for grab-and-go breakfasts all week.
You can enjoy these peach cobbler overnight oats cold or warm, but I usually serve them straight from the fridge. For a warm and cozy breakfast, gently microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until just heated through.

Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- ½ cup milk, I use 2% cow's milk
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ½ can (15-oz) sliced or diced peaches, packed in water with no added sugar
Equipment
- jar or container with lid
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, oats, yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- To your jar or container, spoon in half the oat mixture. Layer with half of the peaches. Repeat with the remaining oats, and top with the rest of the peaches.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 6 hours. Serve cold or microwave for 20-30 seconds before eating. Top with extra peaches if desired.
Notes
- I use 2% cow’s milk but any alternative like almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk work great. For more protein, use low fat ultra-filtered cow’s milk.
- Swap rolled oats for quick oats if needed. Do not use steel cut oats.
- I use Leanfit vanilla whey protein powder (I love the smooth texture and flavor), but any protein you like will work. Feel free to use dairy-free if needed.
- Look for canned peaches in water with “no added sugar” on the label. Or, use about 1/2 cup fresh diced peaches.
A creamy and super fresh spin on sometimes boring overnight oats. And with so much protein and fiber! These are so good.
