Ingredients
- Rolled oats
- Brown sugar
- Baking powder
- Cinnamon
- Salt
- Ground flax seed (Optional, but adds some healthy fats!)
- Egg
- Milk
- Olive oil
- Vanilla extract
- Peaches (I use fresh, but canned peaches would be okay)
Variations/Substitutions
- Milk: Use cow’s milk (Whole milk, skim milk, or 2 percent milk), almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or your favorite non-dairy milk!
- Egg: To make this vegan, you can use a flax egg by combining one tablespoon flax seed with 3 tablespoons water.
- Peaches: You can use fresh peaches, or even canned peach slices to save time. Or honestly, if you don’t like peaches, feel free to substitute with another fruit like blueberries.
- Olive oil: I like using olive oil because of the unsaturated fats. But you could substitute for melted butter if you want.
- Oats: This recipe is naturally gluten-free, but make sure you buy a certified gluten-free brand. I use rolled oats but don’t recommend quick oats because they tend to get mushy when cooked. And steel-cut oats need way more liquid and baking, so they’re not good for this recipe either.

Oats
Oats are heart-healthy whole grains with lots of health benefits. They can help stabilize blood sugar and help lower cholesterol as well!
Peaches
This delicious Summer fruit is filled with antioxidants and Vitamin C, which can help boost the immune system. And in-season produce is usually cheaper; all the more reason to buy more of these!
What to serve with this
I like to have a good protein with breakfast. So cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, scrambled eggs, sausage, etc.
The combination of protein and the whole grain from the oats will keep you full for a long time!
I also like to drizzle a little maple syrup on top for extra sweetness. Although if you have extra sweet peaches, you may not need any syrup!
Can you freeze this oatmeal bake?
Absolutely! Most breakfast recipes that include oats can easily be frozen as a make-ahead breakfast.
After you slice the oatmeal bake, lay them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Put that in the freezer for a few hours; and then you can transfer them to a gallon-sized freezer bag.
They’ll stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months!
How to Make Peach Baked Oatmeal
In a large bowl, combine the oats, flax seeds, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, olive oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Grease an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray and spread out the diced peaches on the bottom.
Pour the wet mixture on top, using a spatula to spread evenly.
Add the sliced peaches on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and a knife comes out relatively clean.
Cut into 6 slices and serve!
When the pieces are room temperature, place any leftovers into an airtight container and keep in the fridge for 5-7 days.
