Peach season is in full swing. Oh, and it's time for the kids to go back to school.

Which means it is the perfect time to make peach baked oatmeal! Sweet peaches in a healthy breakfast or snack, that can be meal prepped ahead of time for easier mornings. Sweet and moist, but not mushy. Baked oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfast options!

Simply bake on Sunday and enjoy all week long! I look forward to it every morning. Sometimes I will add protein powder (+ extra liquid) to the batter. Or you can serve with Greek yogurt or eggs for more protein.

Now there's no excuse not to start everyday with a healthy dish! Baked oatmeal can be stored in the fridge and will save you so much time in the morning. Cut and grab a slice as you're heading out the door. You can also bake in muffin cups or small ramekins for individual portions.

Is baked oatmeal healthy?

Yes! Ok well, it depends on the ingredients... Making your own baked oatmeal ensures a healthy breakfast packed with fiber and protein. Plus, the dish remains sweet, even without a lot of added sugar. Some recipes, particularly in restaurants, could be laden with butter and sugar.

‍

Can you make this ahead of time?

You bet! I prefer to bake this over the weekend and enjoy all week long! This dish can be stored in the fridge for 4-5 days. You can also freeze for 2-3 months. If you really want to get a head start, you could prep the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately. Then, mix just before baking.

Baked Oats vs. Overnight Oats

The largest difference is obvious. Baked oats have been baked in the oven, whereas overnight oats have been mixed and left to soak overnight in the fridge. Both can be eaten warm or cold. And, they are both easy to prepare and can feed a crowd.

Why is my baked oatmeal gummy?

Oats will absorb moisture. If you allow them to sit for too long before baking, the oatmeal cold become dense and gummy. Mix and then bake right away. If you use steel-cut oats, more liquid will also need to be added.
