Peaches and Cream Overnight Oats FAQ’s:
What are Overnight Oats?
If you’re reading this and have no idea what overnight oats are then I’ll briefly explain. Overnight Oats are oatmeal that is made the night before by mixing a few different ingredients and leaving them to refrigerate overnight. The next day, you just have to take it out, stir it, add any additional toppings you may like and eat it. That’s it!
What type of oats are used to make Overnight Oats?
To make overnight oats you want to use old fashioned (rolled) oats. Make sure they’re gluten-free too for better digestion. Oats are naturally gluten-free but some facilities that also pack other types of grains or foods may get the oats mixed in with gluten. Resulting in cross contamination. Using quick oats for overnight oats doesn’t work well either as they come out way too mushy. They essentially get “over cooked”.
Do you put fruit in overnight oats the night before?
You can put fruit in your overnight oats the night before as long as is fruit that holds well. Peaches are great and will add so much flavor to your oats as they sit overnight. Fruits like apples or bananas may be best added when serving.
Meal Prepping it:
Overnight oats are always great for meal prepping. They are so easy and quick to make, they are always a good idea to have in the fridge. Make these Peaches and Cream Overnight Oats ahead and keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. I would suggest adding the peach the night before you are ready to serve these. The peach may get too mushy if it stays in the fridge for too many days.
Storing Peaches and Cream Overnight Oats:
Keep your peaches and cream overnight oats in the same mason jar you made them in. If you don’t have a mason jar, use any container with a tight lid. Keep overnight oats sealed tightly. Keep overnight oats refrigerated for up to 2-3 days.
