Instructions
Step 1: Combine the Base Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl or a mason jar, add 1 cup of rolled oats and 2 cups of almond milk. Stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger. Mix everything together until well combined.
Step 2: Add Fresh Peach
Dice your ripe peach into small bite-sized pieces. Gently fold half of the diced peach into the oat mixture.
Step 3: Refrigerate Overnight
Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak overnight or for at least 6 hours.
Step 4: Assemble the Parfait
In the morning, give the oat mixture a good stir. In a glass or bowl, layer the oat mixture, followed by a spoonful of Greek yogurt, then more oats. Top with the remaining diced peaches and sprinkle 1/4 cup of granola on top for crunch.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Finish your Peach-Ginger Overnight Oats Parfait with a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and refreshing aroma. Enjoy immediately, or pack it for an on-the-go breakfast.

Notes
Use rolled oats instead of instant oats to maintain texture and avoid mushiness.
Keep granola separate until serving to preserve its crunchiness.
Adjust the amount of fresh ginger to your taste to avoid overpowering the peach flavor.
For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond-based yogurt.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; stir in almond milk if oats thicken too much.
