    peaches and cream baked oatmeal recipe

    Please. I beg of you.

    Stop what you are doing right now and run to the store to buy some ripe peaches. They must be ripe, slightly soft to the touch with a bit of give when you gently squeeze it. Buy a bunch of them.

    And then make this.

    And then come back and thank me. (Kidding! Sorta!)

    Baked Oatmeal with Peaches & Cream

    This stuff is like the flavor packets you get at the store…except it tastes 8,967 times better…and it’s made with all real food…and it’s not gritty. (Is it just me or do those oatmeal packets have a bit of grit to them?!) Well, there is nothing gritty about this peaches and cream baked oatmeal. It’s perfectly smooth and delicious.

    Tyler declared this the best food he had ever eaten and I quote, “Mom, can I have this at my birthday? I love it so.”

    Yes sir…you certainly can have this for breakfast on your birthday.

    Peaches and Cream Baked Oatmeal with Cream

    You can use real cream in this recipe if you’re looking for extra creamy texture and flavor, or if you already have it on hand for your coffee or other recipe. I would not however, add cream to your shopping list, just to make this baked oatmeal. (Unless you are feeling especially nostalgic and wish to walk down memory lane with the most authentic real flavors possible in recreating the bowl full of peaches n cream packet oatmeal!) 2% or whole milk will work just fine…or whatever milk you are drinking!

    If you wish to use cream, I would use half cream/half milk in the baked oatmeal recipe, then top with cream, or even plain yogurt. The recipe written just calls for straight milk…it works perfectly!

    To make a gluten free version of this, simply substitute 1 for 1 the oats and flour with gluten free certified oats, and gluten free baking mix.

      This is delicious! I happened to have a whole bunch of peaches I picked for canning, so I was ready to try the recipe first thing this morning! I love the fresh peaches, but when they aren’t in season I’m sure canned peaches will work well too. 🙂

        I used partially thawed frozen peaches and it turned out great!

      Can you make this the night before? Too busy in the morning to bake or cook.

        would have liked to know about the prep ahead method, but will attempt, and comment result:)

      I wonder how this would do in the crock pot. We don’t tend to have time to make real oatmeal in the mornings, but we love to wake up to a pot of breakfast!

        Wowwwwww. So I made this tonight for breakfast tomorrow and it is amazing. Really amazingly delicious. Half is gone already. My husband asked if he could have it for his birthday 🙂 also used old fashioned oats and just cooked it a little longer. Oh and I had three nectarines and used them instead. Sooooo sooooo good. Thank you!

          I want to use Old Fashioned oats as well and was wondering how I need to adjust the recipe to do so.

      Does this freeze well? Do you still serve it with milk or cream for the school lunch? This sounds yummy and I think my somewhat picky daughter would actually eat this!

      Sounds great. But I would love to make it the day before. Should I bake and then refrigerate, then reheat? Does it need to be refrigerated?

      Do you think I could use quick cooking steel cut oats in this recipe? Would I have to add more liquid?

      I used old fashioned oats, frozen mixed fruit, almond meal instead of wheat flour, and almond milk instead of regular milk and it is still AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! With the substitutions you have to add 15 min to the time but this is an overall great recipe.

      Made these today with unsweetened soy milk & 1/2 cup of honey instead of brown sugar. They are so good!! I plan to just eat them as breakfast squares and not eat it in milk.

        Thanks for the honey tip Natasha, I was ready to make these for school lunch until I realised there was about 5 teaspoons of sugar per serve!

      This is really delicious! I used half the amount of brown sugar and sprinkled a little cinnamon on top and it was just perfect! A great way to use up all our fresh summer peaches. Thank you!

      Can you use frozen peaches? Can you use a different fruit like apples?
