I love a loaded oat bowl, espeically one made with fresh organic Colorado peaches! I switched things up a bit and made the tastiest & healthiest baked oatmeal recipe using one of my favorite summer fruits: peaches!
I love everything about peach season! Peach smoothies have been on repeat ever since I received these beauties!! I’m a huge peach fan and I knew after making my loaded oat bowl topped off with peach nice cream and fresh peaches, I had to make this version too! What I love about this recipe is everything is quick, easy and it can even be prepped the night before. This is espeically convenient on long runs Fridays!
Although my creamy oats don’t take long to prepare, sometimes it’s nice to slip prepped oats into the oven and have them ready in about 25 minutes. This is the perfect amount of time I need to cool down, stretch, and change out of my sweaty clothes.
Ingredients in Peach Pie Baked Oatmeal
Since I am not a big fan of cold over night oats, creamy oats or baked are more my thing. The ingredients are surprisingly pretty similar.
- sprouted rolled oats – old fashioned rolled oats works best for this recipe! I like these.
- unsweetened vanilla almond milk – I prefer using almond milk because I like the flavor, but you can use any type of milk you prefer and/or have on hand.
- Protein Powder – I used the seasonal peach flavor for Shaklee but Vanilla is good too!
- cinnamon – this adds a hint of sweetness and spice to the baked oatmeal plus it’s super good for you!
- vanilla – I add vanilla to almost all of my oatmeal recipes and love the subtle flavor it adds.
- ripe peaches – look for perfectly ripe, in-season peaches.
- peach Puree – For the center
- coconut Sugar – mixed with cinnamon for the topping
- baking soda – this is the one ingredient that is in most baked oats but not in stove top or over night oats
- sea salt – a little salt brings out all the other flavors!
- chia seeds – to thicken the filling and great healthy fats plus fiber
How to Make Peach Baked Oatmeal
These oats are super simple to throw together! First make your peach puree. All you need to do is heat chia seeds and peaches for a minute or two on the stove or use your microwave (if you are comfortable with using one). Set aside.
Grab your blender and blend together the oats, almond milk, protein powder, vanilla, baking soda and half of the peach puree. Next add 3/4 of this to a greased oven proof bowl. Add the rest of the peach puree. Top with remaining oat mixture.
Top with coconut sugar and cinnamon mixture. Bake for 25 minutes. Dive in! I love these plain but you can also get creative with your toppings. Serve with a little splash of almond milk, nice cream, almond butter, or granola.
Make ahead?
Sure. Just put your dish in the fridge over night. About an hour before you’re ready to bake your oats, take them out of the fridge. Next preheat your oven. Place in oven when up to temp and bake as directed.
You could also mix dry ingredients in your blender and then add your wet ingredients in the morning. Assemble as above.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I did! They are a perfect post run meal! Actually they are perfect anytime of the day. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack, or even dessert! ENJOY!
