Ingredients
• ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• ½ cup milk (any kind works)

How to Make Peeps Overnight Oats
Step 1: Combine the ingredients
In a mason jar or bowl, combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Place the Peep marshmallow on top of the oats.
Step 2: Refrigerate overnight
Cover the jar or bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
As the oats chill, the Peep will soften and melt slightly into the milk, adding sweetness and a creamy marshmallow flavor.
Step 3: Stir and serve
In the morning, stir the oats well so the melted marshmallow blends into the mixture.
If the oats are thicker than you prefer, add a splash of milk.
Top with extra Peeps, sprinkles, or berries before serving.
