Instructions
- Combine all ingredients for the standard recipe in a medium bowl. For the protein variation, combine all specified ingredients in a jar or bowl.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
- Transfer the mixture into individual containers, such as four half-pint jars for the standard recipe or one jar for the protein variation.

Notes
- For best results, use old-fashioned rolled oats for a creamy, non-mushy texture. Fat-free milk is preferred for lower calories, but alternatives like oat milk or vanilla almond milk can be used. Fresh, frozen, or canned peaches work well, and sweeteners like maple syrup or honey can be added to taste.
- This oatmeal can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For added crunch, sprinkle with granola before serving. You can also substitute milk with coffee creamer or add brown sugar for extra sweetness.
Notes
Refrigerate covered for up to 4 days. Old-fashioned rolled oats are recommended for a creamy texture. Fat-free milk is preferred, but alternatives include oat milk, vanilla almond milk, cashew milk, or even coffee creamer. Use fresh, frozen, or canned peaches. Sweeten to taste with maple syrup, honey, agave, or a sugar-free substitute. Add granola for crunch before serving. To warm, microwave for 1 minute and stir, continuing in 30-second increments.
