Turn fresh peaches into a delicious and nutritious breakfast with this peach baked oatmeal! This recipe works well as a meal prep idea, as part of a healthy breakfast, or a weekend brunch.

I don’t know about you, but I love peach season. Of all the summer produce, it’s my absolutely favorite fruit season because fresh peaches are just so good. While my favorite way to eat them on their own – with their sweet juices running down my chin – baking with them is also really fun.

So, if you’ve got a basket of peaches slowly ripening on your counter, add this peach baked oatmeal recipe to your to-do list and you’ll have a healthy breakfast for days to come.

Peach Nutrition Facts

Peaches are a source of carbohydrates, specifically fibrous carbohydrates, as well as a good source of micronutrients. Peaches are best consumed with the skin on for maximum nutritional value, as the skin contains most of the fiber, and are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and potassium. One medium peach (147 grams) contains 68 calories, 1 gram of protein, less than 1 gram of fat, 15 grams of carbohydrate, 12 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of fiber (1).

Moreover, the high-water content of peaches, roughly 88% water, makes them a very hydrating fruit and, therefore, a great addition to any summer breakfast.

Why You’ll Love Baked Peach Oatmeal

  • Easy – Like any baked oatmeal recipe, this peach baked oats recipe is easy to make.
  • Great for Meal Prep – This peach baked oatmeal keeps well in the fridge for days, which makes it great for meal prep.
  • High in Fiber – The combination of old fashioned oats and peaches ensures every slice is full of fiber.
  • Seasonal – This baked oatmeal is a great way to use fresh peaches.

Ingredients in Peach Baked Oatmeal

Here’s what you’ll need to make these baked peach oats:

  • Oats – Use old fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. You can use quick oats if needed, however, steel-cut oats and instant oats are not recommended.
  • Peaches – For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches. If needed, you can also use frozen peaches or canned peaches, just be sure to cut them into bite-size pieces.
  • Milk – Using cow’s milk will increase the protein content, but you can use non-dairy milk if needed.
  • Egg – To help bind the oats.
  • Vanilla Extract – To add flavor.
  • Brown Sugar – To sweeten the oats. You can also use maple syrup.
  • Butter – To ensure the baked oatmeal is moist. You can use coconut oil if needed.
  • Cinnamon – To add warmth, fragrance, and an extra hint of sweetness.
  • Leavening Agents – Some baking powder and salt to ensure the peach oatmeal bake is light and fluffy.

Dietary Adaptions

To Make it Gluten-Free: No adaptations are needed, this recipe is gluten-free. Just be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.

To Make it Dairy-Free: Swap the butter for coconut oil and swap the milk for almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk.

To Make it Egg-Free: Omit the egg and use a flax egg instead.

How to Make Peach Baked Oatmeal

Baked oatmeal is very simple to make, here’s what you’ll do:

  1. Combine the dry ingredients. Begin by mixing the old fashioned oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Add the wet ingredients. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar or maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, and milk and whisk until well combined.
  3. Mix the batter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold gently to combine.
  4. Add to a baking dish. Transfer the batter to a greased baking dish.
  5. Add the peaches. Dollop the diced peaches on top of the oat mixture and gently mixed them into the batter.
  6. Bake. Transfer the baking dish to the oven to bake until golden brown.
  7. Cool and enjoy! Once cooked, allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly and then serve with toppings of your choice.

Storage + Reheating

To Refrigerate: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool completely and then cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

To Freeze: Once cooled, baked oatmeal can be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze whole, cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and/or aluminum foil and then place the entire dish in a freezer-safe bag. To freeze leftovers or individual portions, transfer the baked oatmeal to an airtight container and place it in the freezer.

To Reheat: To reheat the baked oatmeal whole, allow it to thaw completely, and then cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and warm it in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.

      I don’t normally like Oatmeal but I tried this one I ate 1 cup of this and then took the last of it 1cup servings and froze it for future Breakfasts. I will make this again when the rest is used up. I rotate different recipes for 3 Months at a time. This is very tasty abd I added blueberries for more flavor.

      delicious. I make them and then freeze after I slice them. I then heat them up either in the microwave or the air fryer. Easy and filling.

      Thanks for the recipe! I will try this one but peaches may no longer be in season. Can I used fresh pears instead? Not sure if it will come out too watery?

      Just discovered your recipes! Lots of yummy/healthy recipes I will try one by one.

      Thanks in advance
