Recipe Pro-Tips
- Cook the peaches until fragrant and soft. This brings out their natural sweetness and enhances the overnight oats peaches and cream flavor.
- Mix well. When combining all the ingredients, mix well to prevent clumps and ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Increase protein. Use filtered milk and at least two tablespoons of protein powder to maximize the high-protein overnight oats! Regular milk and plant-based milk/protein will lower the overall protein count.
- Adjust sweetness. Use less maple syrup and brown sugar if you prefer a less sweet option or add more if you prefer sweeter.
