- Serve with a drizzle of coconut milk and almond butter, if desired.

FAQs
Yes! To make these as overnight oats, simple add everything to a container and mix well, making sure it’s well mixed and there are no clumps of oats or flax.
Store in the fridge overnight and enjoy in the morning! Overnight oats will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days but best within 1-2 days.
Definitely! Fresh or frozen peaches both work well. If you use fresh peaches, stir them in once the oats are cooked to prevent them from getting overly mushy during cooking.
Sure! The recipe will remain the same but the oats will take less time to cook.
Yes! To make peach steel cut oats, increase the liquid to 1.5 cups and the cooking time to 20-25 minutes over medium-low heat.
You can omit the protein powder but you’ll need to replace with with 1-2 tbsp sweetener of choice such as maple syrup, brown sugar, coconut sugar or for sugar-free oats, stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
You may also want to reduce the cooking liquid to 3/4 cup and slowly add more if needed.
Storing
- Fridge: If prepping additional servings in advance, cover and store extras in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Stovetop or in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until heated to your preference. Add the coconut milk and almond butter at serving.
