Equipment

dutch oven or saucepan
Rubber Spatula

Ingredients

1.5 cups milk
1.5 cups water
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup rolled oats (also known as old fashioned oats)
2 tablespoons chia seeds
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 medium peaches, cut into bite sized pieces
cream, peaches, maple syrup to top (or garnishes of choice)

Instructions

Bring 1.5 cups of water, 1.5 cups of milk, and ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt to a soft boil over medium-low heat. Add in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and stir to dissolve.
Add in 1 cup of oats and 2 tablespoons chia seeds, and simmer for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to thicken.
Stir in the chopped peaches, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Simmer for another 3-5 minutes to thicken, or until the desired consistency is reached.
Now, pour on a little fresh cream or another splash of milk, more fresh peaches and your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop. Do not freeze.

Notes

Sweeten to taste. Add more or less brown sugar or sweetener of choice according to your preferences. You can also swap the brown sugar with any sweetener you prefer.
Milk can be swapped for any nut milk of choice.
Gently boil the milk and water mixture, then immediately reduce the heat to a simmer. Milk can scald (burn) easily, and it's gross! With that said, we do need to gently boil the mixture for a few moments to dissolve the salt and brown sugar. After that, reduce to a simmer to avoid any burning.
Be sure to use the package directions on your oats for guidance. As we mentioned before, different types of oats will take different amounts of time to cook, so while you can use our recipe as a guide, please keep in mind we used rolled oats (or old fashioned oats) so which will impact the cook time.
To make this into overnight oats: Combine all of the ingredients in jars and cover, then place in the fridge overnight until all the ingredients are absorbed. Top with more fruit, sweeteners, and milk or cream to serve and enjoy!
