Step 1 - Add Everything to the Jar
Add the rolled oats, plant-based milk, plant-based yogurt, ground flaxseed, and maple syrup to your pint-sized jar or container. Stir everything together until completely combined make sure the yogurt doesn't sit in a concentrated layer and the flaxseed distributes evenly throughout.
Step 2 - Add the Peach
Option A: Dice the fresh peach and stir it into the jar now. The peach softens slightly overnight and its juices infuse the surrounding oats with peach flavor throughout. This produces a more unified, peach-forward result.
Option B: Keep the diced peach separate and add it fresh when you're ready to eat. This preserves the peach's texture and produces a more distinct fruit-and-cream contrast. The recipe suggests this option for longer storage oats with peach already mixed in are best within 3 days, while oats without peach keep for up to 5 days.
Step 3 - Refrigerate
Place a lid or cover on the container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours overnight produces the best texture. The oats absorb the liquid completely during this time, transforming from a loose mixture into a thick, creamy, spoonable breakfast.
Step 4 - Eat
Remove from the refrigerator. Eat cold directly from the jar the standard and genuinely delicious method. Or microwave for 30–60 seconds for a warm version this works surprisingly well if you prefer warm breakfasts, though the cold version specifically showcases the summer freshness of the peach.
