Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup (60g) cottage cheese, small-curd preferred
  • 1 large fresh peach, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.5g) ground cinnamon
  • For the ginger crumble:
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon (2g) fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese. Whisk or stir gently until smooth but still a bit textured. Set aside.
  2. Stir in maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the oat mixture.
  3. Peel and dice the fresh peach into bite-sized pieces. Gently fold most of the peach chunks into the oat mixture, reserving a few for topping.
  4. Pour the mixture into a glass jar or airtight container. Seal tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  5. In a small bowl, combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, fresh grated ginger, and a pinch of salt. Add cold cubed unsalted butter.
  6. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the crumble mixture and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  7. When ready to serve, gently stir the oats, then top with the warm ginger crumble and reserved peach pieces.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent sogginess overnight. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk. Store ginger crumble separately to keep it crunchy. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt and cottage cheese with coconut yogurt and use vegan butter or coconut oil in crumble. Frozen peaches can be used but may add extra moisture; drain excess juice if needed.
