We are a huggeeeeee oatmeal house. It is easy, my toddler loves it & loaded with brown sugar makes it extra wonderful for me ha. I do hate cleaning up the oatmeal pot though & sometimes cooking it with a super hangry toddler can be stressful. That is where this baked oatmeal was born. Mix everything in one bowl, can bake immediately or do the night before & pop in oven when ready. What I like to do is bake it & keep in fridge. That way in the am I can scoop some out, pop it in the microwave & boom, breakfast is served.
Baked Peach Oatmeal
2 cups oatmeal (I use quick oats)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups milk (milk of choice, any work!)
2 eggs
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tbsp vanilla
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 jar peaches (I like the ones from Trader Joe’s)
Sprinkle of brown sugar (optional)
Preheat oven to 375. Mix all ingredients in a bowl except the peaches. Pour into a greased baking dish & then top with the peaches. Sprinkle with brown sugar if you desire & bake for 45 minutes. Serve immediately or store in your fridge for up to a week.
