These Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats are easy to meal prep, have an incredibly creamy texture, and are great way to get in lots of nutrition in the morning! They're one of my favorites in the summer when fresh peaches are in season. Chia seeds add healthy fats and Greek yogurt adds protein. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. 😊

Instructions
In either a large container to divide it into 2 portions later or in 2 separate airtight containers, combine oats, chia seeds, yogurt, milk, cinnamon, ½ tablespoon of the maple syrup, ½ teaspoon of the vanilla extract (save the rest of the maple syrup and vanilla for the peaches). Give it a good mix to combine.
Dice your peaches. In a large bowl, combine the peaches and filling ingredients including remaining ½ teaspoon vanilla, remaining ½ tablespoon maple syrup, and cornstarch (if using). Mix to coat the peaches. Heat a nonstick skillet or saucepan on medium heat. Add the peach mixture and heat, stirring, for about 3-5 minutes or until the peaches fully soften.
Add half of the cooked peaches to the oat mixture and give it a good stir to combine. Top with the remaining peaches.
Store in the fridge overnight (or at least 3-4 hours) in an airtight container. When ready to serve the next morning, add your favorite toppings.
