Ingredient Notes

Here's exactly what you need at a glance, along with some important notes and substitution ideas:

peaches, plant milk, salt, oats, maple syrup, oats, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon

Peaches - For the very best flavour use fresh peaches. However, you can make baked oatmeal with canned peaches or frozen peaches when fresh peaches aren't in season. Nectarines can also be used instead of peaches.
Oats - These can be old-fashioned rolled oats, porridge oats, or quick oats. Don't use instant oats or steel-cut oats.
Maple syrup - I love this for the extra flavour it gives the oatmeal, but you can use the same amount of sugar instead. White sugar, brown sugar, or coconut sugar will all be good.
Baking powder - If you don't have any you can omit it. It does make the finished oatmeal a little lighter but the difference isn't huge.
Cinnamon - Ground ginger or pumpkin spice make great subs. 50/50 cinnamon and ginger is a really great combo too.
Vanilla extract - Almond extract makes a great alternative.

Got blueberries? A few handfuls (fresh or frozen) make a really great addition to this Peach Baked Oatmeal. Simply add them to the oat mixture with the chopped peaches.

Serving Suggestions

Peach Baked Oatmeal is great enjoyed warm or cold just as it is for breakfast or for dessert, but accompaniments that work really well include:

A drizzle of maple syrup or drippy almond butter
A dollop of vegan yogurt, coconut cream
Fresh blueberries or raspberries
Some plant milk such as cashew milk, soy milk, almond milk, or oat milk, poured over like you would boxed breakfast cereal
dairy-free ice cream or vegan custard for dessert as a healthier alternative to desserts like vegan peach cobbler

Tips For Storing Leftovers

Let the Baked Peach Oatmeal cool completely then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 3 months. You can reheat the entire dish, or individual portions in the microwave or oven. Time will vary depending on how much you're reheating. For individual portions, I usually cook mine on full power for about 40 seconds.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use another fruit?

You can. This recipe is great when made with pretty much any other fruit. I've used nectarines, plums, apricots, apples, strawberries, pears, blueberries, and raspberries.

Can I make this in a slow cooker?

Yes. You can cook it in a slow cooker on low for 3 hours. If you want it to get nicely golden brown with a lovely toasty oat flavour though I recommend oven-baking it.
