Ingredients in peaches and cream overnight oats

• Oats: Rolled oats are best for overnight oatmeal because they are steamed and flattened. This makes them perfect for soaking. Do not use steel cut or instant oats as they won’t produce the same results.
• Milk: Use your favorite type of milk, whether it’s non-dairy or dairy. I always use unsweetened vanilla almond milk or oat milk.
• Yogurt: You must use yogurt to create a peaches and cream flavor. Try it with any type of non-dairy or dairy yogurt. I suggest a vanilla flavor for the best results.
• Peaches: Peaches add a sweet, fruity, and floral flavor. They are loaded with antioxidants and a great source of Vitamin C.
• Almond butter: Get a boost of healthy fats with a spoonful of almond butter. If you don’t prefer this type of nut butter, try peanut butter or cashew butter instead.
• Maple syrup: Since the recipe is refined sugar-free, sweeten it with real maple syrup. Honey or agave nectar also work well.
• Chia seeds: These seeds expand while soaking, which helps produce an ultra creamy consistency. Also, they’re packed with omega-3 fatty acids and may aid in digestion.
• Vanilla extract: Vanilla adds a sweet flavor and aroma, making them taste like dessert.
• Salt: Some salt enhances all of the other ingredients.
