Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz / 240ml) milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk preferred)
  • 1 large ripe peach, diced
  • 68 small fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
  • ½ cup (4 oz / 120g) Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 12 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Dice the peach into small cubes.
  2. Finely chop 6-8 small fresh basil leaves.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Add milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl and stir until well combined.
  5. Gently fold in the diced peaches and chopped basil.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly into glass jars or airtight containers. Seal tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  7. Before serving, warm almond butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it drizzly, then spoon it over the oats.
  8. Optional: garnish with fresh basil leaves or chopped nuts.

Notes

Use fresh basil leaves for best flavor; dried basil is not recommended. Rolled oats hold texture better than instant oats. Adjust sweetness based on peach ripeness. Warm almond butter slightly before drizzling for easier application. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze up to 1 month.
