Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats the hearty base that softens overnight and provides fiber
  • 2 cups almond milk adds creaminess and helps oats soak; use unsweetened or lightly sweetened
  • 1 ripe peach diced, fresh and juicy for natural sweetness and texture
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger offers a bright, spicy kick that wakes up the palate
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup a natural sweetener to enhance flavors
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon adds warmth and depth to the parfait
  • 0.25 cup chopped walnuts or almonds for crunch and healthy fats
  • 0.5 cup Greek yogurt creamy, tangy, and loaded with protein
  • fresh peach slices for topping to finish the parfait with a beautiful, fresh touch

Instructions

Prepare the Oats Mixture

  • In a medium bowl or a large mason jar, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Stir in the grated fresh ginger, ground cinnamon, and your choice of honey or maple syrup. Mix well to ensure the oats absorb all the flavors evenly.

Add the Diced Peaches

  • Gently fold in the diced ripe peach pieces into the oat mixture. This will allow the peaches to release their natural juices overnight, infusing the oats with subtle fruity sweetness.

Refrigerate Overnight

  • Cover the bowl or seal the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 6 hours or overnight. This soaking process softens the oats, melding all the flavors into a creamy, thick texture.

Layer the Parfait

  • The next morning, grab your serving glasses or bowls. Start by spooning a layer of the soaked oats mixture at the bottom. Add a layer of Greek yogurt, then sprinkle chopped walnuts or almonds on top for crunch. Repeat the layering until you’ve used all the ingredients, finishing with a dollop of yogurt and fresh peach slices.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Enjoy your Peach-Ginger Overnight Oats Parfait immediately, or cover and keep chilled until ready to eat. This parfait is perfect for a quick breakfast or a healthy snack any time of day.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats instead of instant oats for better texture and creaminess.
  • Grate fresh ginger finely to avoid large chunks and ensure smooth flavor.
  • Toast the chopped nuts lightly for enhanced flavor and crunch.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free version.
  • If fresh peaches aren’t available, use thawed frozen peaches to maintain sweetness and texture.
