Oatmeal is classic breakfast food. Sadly, it often gets a bad rep for tasting plain and boring.
Fortunately, this does not have to be the case. You can make oatmeal super flavorful merely by adding a few ingredients to it.
Some of my go to’s are fresh berries, a handful of nuts and seeds, coconut flakes and cacao nibs.
Trust me, incorporating these will take your breakfast to a whole new level.
Today, I went to share one of my favorite overnight oats recipes with you: this raspberry peach oatmeal.
It’s perfect for spring and summer when these fruits are in season, but you can also make it throughout the year using frozen or dried fruits.
Moreover, these overnight oats are ideal for busy mornings. When you wake up, you already have a nutritious and filling meal waiting in the fridge.
So, no excuses to eat junk. 😁

📖 VARIATIONS
There are almost endless possibilities to switch up this recipe by using different fruits and berries.
Sure, it won’t be a raspberry peach overnight oats recipe anymore.
But hey, you will still have a fabulous oatmeal to enjoy.😅
One of my favorite ways to switch it up is by adding some mango or strawberries to it.
You can use chia seeds or hemp seeds if you are not a fan of flax seeds.
Instead of sunflower seeds, sliced almonds would also work very well.
Nutmeg would also be an excellent replacement for cinnamon, though you only want to use ¼ tsp.
If you want to mellow out the flavor a bit and focus on the fantastic taste of the fruits, feel free to omit the cinnamon and vanilla bean.
For a more tropical flavor, add 1 tbsp canned coconut milk.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make this recipe gluten-free, be sure to choose certified gluten-free oats or use 1 cup cooked quinoa or amaranth instead of the oats.
