There are numerous ways to prepare oats, but one method has recently become quite popular. “Overnight Oats” have been posted across all forms of social media. There are so many creative ways to prepare these oats using various add-ins and a variety of containers. Truly, it seems that whatever containers are available are used, i.e., empty nut butter jars, mason jars, etc.
My version of Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats combines fresh peaches with just enough sweet and spice, layered with creamy yogurt and the nutty flavor and awesome texture of the soaked oats to provide a breakfast treat that you simply will enjoy every bite of. It is so simple to make, so pretty to look at, and so fun to eat. Enjoy!
