And now, I'm excited to bring you this amazing Peach Baked Oatmeal. If you’ve never had baked oatmeal before, you must try this dish!

Doctor's Tips

Oats are a nutrient-dense food with many health benefits. These include helping to lower your cholesterol, stabilizing blood sugar levels, and keeping things running smoothly in your intestinal tract.

Oats are whole grains and are rich in fiber, antioxidants, and several vitamins and minerals like phosphorus, thiamine, magnesium, iron, and zinc.

To learn more, read my post Everything You Need to Know About Whole Grains.

Interesting Nutrition Fact: Did you know that oatmeal was the subject of the very first food-specific health claim approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration? This was back in 1997 when it was determined that consumption of soluble fiber from oats may lower the risk of heart disease.

Ingredients For Peach Baked Oatmeal

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions:

Old fashioned (rolled) oats- use old fashioned oats, not quick-cooking oats, which are chopped oats that cook faster. If you're trying to keep this recipe gluten free, use certified gluten-free oats.
Peaches- when they're in season, nothing beats fresh, summer peaches. However you can enjoy this recipe all year round by using frozen peaches. You can leave the skin on or peel the peaches. Leaving the skin on will provide more nutrients.
Milk- you can use dairy milk or non-dairy milk like almond milk or oat milk
Yogurt- I use 2% Greek yogurt (read my post all about the nutritional benefits of Greek yogurt). Icelandic skyr also works well in this dish. You can use vanilla-flavored yogurt or peach yogurt for an extra boost of peachy flavor.
Coconut oil- you can substitute melted butter

Recipe FAQs and Chef's Tips

Can I use frozen peaches?

Yes, you can use fresh or frozen peaches. Defrost frozen peaches and drain the water before using them in this dish.

How can I make this dish gluten free?

This recipe can be made gluten free by using certified gluten-free oats. While oats are inherently gluten free, cross-contamination can occur during processing.

How can I make this dish vegan?

You can make this recipe vegan by using dairy-free milk (like almond milk or oat milk) and dairy-free yogurt. Also, instead of an egg, you can substitute a flax egg. To make a flax egg, mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken and then use it in the recipe in place of 1 egg.

How long can I store Peach Baked Oatmeal?

You can store the baked oatmeal in the fridge for up to 5 days. It can also be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
