Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt (plain full-fat or 2%)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons (30g) peach preserves
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk preferred)
- 2 tablespoons (15g) chopped pecans, toasted
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.5g) ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Toast the pecans: Place 2 tablespoons (15g) of chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 3-5 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Mix the base: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats, 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice, 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup, 2 tablespoons (30g) peach preserves, 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon (0.5g) ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
- Divide into jars: Spoon the oat mixture evenly into 2 mason jars or containers.
- Add pecans on top: Sprinkle the toasted pecans over each jar.
- Seal and refrigerate: Cover jars with lids and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours).
- Serve: In the morning, stir the oats to mix pecans or leave them on top. Optionally add extra maple syrup or fresh peach slices. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Use rolled oats, not instant oats, for best texture. Toast pecans separately to keep crunch. Adjust sweetness to taste before refrigerating. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use plant milk. Store oats covered in fridge up to 3 days. Add nuts just before serving to maintain crunch.
