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

Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients (oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt) together in a bowl.

Step 2: Mix the wet ingredients (milk, yogurt, egg, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla) together in another bowl.

Step 3: Spread diced peaches along the bottom of a square baking dish.

Step 4: Pour the dry ingredients evenly over the peaches.

Step 5: Pour the wet ingredients on top.

Step 6: Press down with a spoon to submerge the dry ingredients in the liquid.

Step 7: Arrange the sliced peaches on top of the oatmeal.

Step 8: Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top.

Step 9: Bake in the oven at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes until set.

Step 10: Let the peach baked oatmeal rest for 10 minutes. Then, cut it into squares and serve. Enjoy the dish plain or try it my favorite way- topped with a dollop of yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup.

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.
