Looking for a healthy breakfast recipe? Make Baked Peach Almond Oatmeal! You can make it in advance and reheat it in the morning!
Why do Mondays always sneak up on us so quickly? I am never ready for them! The weekends are so much better. Sorry, Monday, but you aren’t my favorite day.
I was a little extra excited to get up this morning because I knew what I was going to eat for breakfast-Baked Peach Almond Oatmeal. I usually eat regular oatmeal every morning, but yesterday I made special oatmeal. I knew I would be feeling lazy on Monday morning so I made the oatmeal in advance and I am so glad I did. Waking up this morning wasn’t so bad!
We love baked oatmeal at our house. It is a real breakfast treat! A few of our favorites include Baked Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal and Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal.
We still have a million peaches to use up so it was only natural that I created a baked peach oatmeal. And since I love almonds, I added them to the mix! I used Almond Breeze Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk and threw in some chopped almonds too!
I used to eat those instant peaches ‘n cream oatmeal packets when I was a kid. Don’t judge, I was a kid. I didn’t know how easy it was to make real oatmeal:) My Baked Peach Almond Oatmeal reminds me of that oatmeal, but SO much better. Like a bizzilion times better. And I promise it is easy to make, just as easy as those packets.
You can make a big pan and reheat it during the week! I made a pan on Sunday and I know we will be eating it for breakfast for a few days. I reheat it in the microwave and it is ready in seconds! I like to serve it with an extra splash of Almond Breeze milk, it adds the perfect creaminess!
I guess I will be getting up early this week. I am one of those people who thinks about breakfast the second they wake up. I might even think about breakfast sooner. I am sure I dreamt about Baked Peach Almond Oatmeal last night. Talk about sweet dreams!
If you want a reason to wake up in the morning, make Baked Peach Almond Oatmeal. You will be waking up with a smile! And this is a great recipe for back to school time! The kiddos will eat it up and you can prepare it the day or night before! Big time bonus when you are running around in circles in the morning trying to get everyone ready for school! You will feel good about sending them off with a belly full of Baked Peach Almond Oatmeal. A great way to start the day!
Baked Peach Almond Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 2 cups Almond Breeze Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly (or melted and cooled butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 1/2 cups chopped peaches
- Peach slices for the top, optional
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8 square baking dish and set aside.
- 2. In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and almonds.
- 3. In another medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, coconut oil, vanilla, and almond extract.
- 4. Arrange the chopped peaches on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the oat mixture evenly over the peaches. Pour the almond milk mixture over the oats. Gently shake the baking dish to make sure the milk covers the oats evenly. If desired, add a few sliced peaches to the top of the oatmeal. It makes the oatmeal look pretty:)
- 5. Bake for 40 minutes, until the top is golden and oatmeal is set. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve warm.
- Note-this baked oatmeal is great reheated in the microwave. We like to add a splash of almond milk for extra creaminess! This recipe can easily be doubled for a 9x13 pan. Use gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free.

It’s almost like a crumble, with oats, brown sugar, but healthy enough to be breakfast. Love that. I just made something tonight using that very almond milk and coconut oil! And now I should make your baked oatmeal. Love the flavors!
I’m definitely into this. Peach oatmeal alone is great, but baked?! YES!
We’re still totally loving local peaches up here!! Thanks for the recipe as I have a big bowl of them to use up.
Yum! What a wonderful breakfast!!! I am soooooooooo loving peaches right now!!!
As the days get cooler, this is just the kind of thing I’d want for breakfast.
Mmm! So pretty and the perfect transition breakfast for late summer to early fall!
Loving this recipe!!! Perfect for the weekend too!
I love baked oatmeal so much. It’s such a fancy upgrade from regular oatmeal that’s still easy to make and leftovers are great. So glad I’m not the only one still obsessed with peaches and who used to eat the instant oatmeal 🙂
Great breakfast recipe!!
That looks like the absolute perfect fall breakfast. Yum!
I love peaches for breakfast and can’t wait to make this soon!
Love this Maria! Making ahead is such a great idea!
Now this would be a great way to start the day!
This looks so good Maria- wish i had it for breakfast!
Yum!! Can’t wait for peach season down here 🙂
Oh my goodness — seriously wish this was my breakfast today! Love those peaches. 🙂
Love baked oatmeal and your peach version is calling my name.
This looks so good! What a perfect weekday breakfast! I’ll have to make a batch while peaches are still good!
I am obsessed with oatmeal and this looks the perfect way to switch up my usual morning I-have-no-time-so-I-just-have-to-microwave-my-oats! Yum!
I am making this for my little guy! He and I love oatmeal and he only drinks almond milk-perfect!!!
Can we be oatmeal bffs too? LOVING this recipe!
I love this idea! I haven’t tried baked oatmeal yet but it’s on my list. Looks so warm and comforting.
I have been wanting to make baked oatmeal again soon and I have a ton of fresh peaches from my backyard, so this recipe is perfect. I’ll use gluten-free oats and make this soon!
the perfect breakfast for anyone on the go!!
LOVE oatmeal. I’m making this next time we have guests in town <3
I’d LOVE having this ready to pop in the oven in the morning!
before peach season is over I need to make this…this looks DIVINE!
p.s. I think about breakfast right before i fall asleep and as soon as I wake up, too!
almond breeze in this would be fantastic!! such a great flavor combo
Maria this looks perfect. I haven’t made baked oatmeal in far too long. Peaches are my favorite summery fruit to bake with!
Great recipes and I do love peaches and pears, and apples….. But why add baking powder? What does it had to the recipe? Can we do without it?
This is such a great way to use all of sweet summer peaches. My family would live this!
I love that we both channeled our inner oat child today! This looks amazing, Maria!
This looks wonderful and perfect for busy school mornings!
A perfect breakfast!
What a delicious breakfast to wake up to!
This looks so wonderful, Maria! What a beautiful way to start a Monday! 😉
Make-ahead breakfasts are the best! I love how you infused some last bits of summer with those peaches!
I’m the same as you- I think about breakfast as soon as I wake up. My husband rolls his eyes when we’re on our morning walk/jog and I say ‘Oh my god, I’m SO HUNGRY right now!’, but it’s true! And we’re big fans of lazy breakfasts. Overnight soaked steel oats and this kind of baked oatmeal are so delicious and easy!
Just can’t get enough peaches into my mouth. Not possible. Thanks for posting this – so much better than slicing them over cornflakes for breakfast!
I usually make apple oatmeal in my rice cooker/oatmeal cooker. Any suggestions on making this in the cooker? Sounds yummy!
I love baked oatmeal! We eat oatmeal every morning too. Usually with a little fruit or yogurt added.
Delicious Maria! I’m always looking for easy lazy breakfasts and like Christy often have my own hungry stomach growling at me on my morning runs. Love coming home and having a hot baked oatmeal waiting for me since everyone else in the house is still asleep.
Make-ahead breakfast that’s actually filling … what a fantastic idea. I look forward to this healthier version of those amazing but so sweet peaches ‘n’ cream packets 🙂
Ummm wow! wow! WOW!
Peaches <3 My love. But seriously this oatmeal looks out of this world!
I just so happen to have a ton of peaches from our recent organic box delivery. Now I know exactly what I’ll be doing with them!
Thanks for sharing this recipe, especially since we have so many peaches and weren’t sure what to do with them! It looks delicious!
Ill admit, your recipe for baked blueberry oatmeal was the first recipe I ever tried containing coconut oil as an ingredient. It was a hit with my family! I will definitely be trying this variation!
Looks so delicious!
Thank you for this recipe, I made it this morning and it was amazing. I left out the brown sugar and it will sweet enough with the peaches. I also tossed on some blackberries. My new favorite baked oatmeal dish!
Just made baked oatmeal w blueberries & raspberries this week. Loving that its so quick and easy to reheat in the morning! I used real milk but I’m trying to cut back on dairy, so I love that this is a tried and true recipe using almond milk. Will definitely be trying it soon!
OK so it’s just me t home and I don’t eat a lot. Do you think it would freeze OK?
This looks so yummy~ I’ve never baked oatmeal before, but I have all the ingredients (hopefully frozen peaches will work OK), so I have to try it out!
Hi there! My name is Jessica, and I run a food blog called Floptimism where, every Saturday, I write a Weekend Wrap-Up post to share all of my favorite internet finds from the past week. I wanted to let you know that I absolutely loved this post — the photos are beautiful and the recipe sounds delicious! — so much so that I included it in my blog’s Weekend Wrap-Up. I’ve included the link to the post in case you’re interested. Thanks for such a fabulous recipe!

I made the crispy quinoa and black bean burritos with avocado dipping sauce
for dinner last night and made this baked oatmeal this morning. Not only did it come out delicious, it makes your house smell like main st in Disneyland!
Another great recipe!
I just tried this recipe and is just delicious! I love oatmeal and this is going to be one of the favorites in the house and the best part is vegan!
I LOVED this recipe. I added coconut flakes and raisins and it was soooo yummy. I’m making it again this week. Great on-the-go breakfast during the work week.
Glad you liked the oatmeal!
Hi Maria. This looks fantastic. I love baked oatmeal. I was just wondering if anyone else seems to be having a problem with the Save to Ziplist button? I have tried saving it several times so far but it doesn’t seem to be working. Thanks!
This looks delicious. Will make it. Could it be bars? They would be so healthy to serve at, well anywhere. Sent the page and your site on to mindful momma.com who seems to be a likeminded healthy place to visit.
Is there a substitute that I can use for the brown sugar? I follow a strict way of eating and brown sugar is not allowed. I usually use things like honey or agave syrup in place of the sugars…do you think that it will be fine?
Yes, you can use agave or honey! Enjoy!
I made this and LOVED it…and…I don’t like oatmeal 🙂 Now, I’m wondering if I could use quinoa in place of the oatmeal. Any recommendations on doing that?
This looks delicious and easy! I love using almond milk.
Hi there! I am excited about trying this recipe, it looks great. I just have a question, how vital is it to use brown sugar? could you use white sugar instead? what difference would it make? Thanks!
Delicious! Just made this for dinner and it was a hit with both kids (2 and 4) and my husband! My husband does not like almonds so I omitted the almond extract and added 1/4 cup almond meal for the chopped almonds to add some protein. Thanks for a great peaches breakfast for dinner recipe! This will definitely be added to my rotation.
Oh! This looks fantastic!My husband has oatmeal every morning, but this makes it interesting,Thanks once again!
I made this today and it was outstanding! So creamy- love the crunch that the almonds provide as well. I am a huge oatmeal fan and have pretty high oatmeal standards- would definitely recommend- thank you!! Love your blog 🙂
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Thank you for a delicious oatmeal recipe that my child loved making and eating. The only mishap is I purchased nectarines instead of peaches, don’t know what I was thinking. So we improvised I had some peach fruit cups which I rinsed and lined the bottom along with the nectarines and sliced some nectarines in the top. Still was yummy and a time saver in the morning. Lasted for the school week.
SO glad you liked the recipe!
I just tried this and served it to company for Sunday morning breakfast. HUGE HIT!! Not too sweet; naturally sweet. Great texture. We all loved it, and started thinking up all kinds of possible variations. The possibilities are endless.
This sounds so good and healthy! Thanks also for the links to the two other baked oatmeal recipes. Saved all three on my Yumprint!
Can you make this without the egg? My bub is allergic but before she was onto solids we made this for the two of us and loved it!
I love oatmeal for breakfast, but was in a bit of a rut. So happy to find your recipe! My husband and I have been eating this for the last couple mornings. Made a batch and reheat a portion in the microwave with a bit of milk each morning. I made it with 1/2 the sugar–I don’t ever use much–and my husband puts a little syrup on his when he reheats it. Delicious! Thanks for a great breakfast!
Yay! Glad you like it!
This was SO GOOD! I used pure maple syrup rather than brown sugar, and it was SO SO YUMMY! I also added chia seeds and ground flax seed. SO SO SO SO YUMMY! Thank you!
If you don’t use a microwave can you still reheat this somehow?
You can warm it back up in the oven.
I’m definitely going to have to try this. A few people in my family hate oatmeal because of the consistency, but I doubt they would object to this!
This was delicious!! I didn’t even have any almonds or almond extract and it was still yummy. Â I’m making it again this weekend. Â AWESOME!!
Would it be ok to use any fruit with this recipe?
I’ve used this recipe to make several varieties of baked oatmeal. I put it together at night and bake in the morning, tonight I made the oat mix, I’ll add sweet dark cherries in the morning and bake. I love it with peaches, too.
Is it any good without sugar? I am avoiding sugar in my food, but I love the recipe. Thanks!
I have made this dozens of times over the last few years. I change up the fruit, dried fruit and nut depending on season or mood! It is fabulous and I always get asked for the recipe. Thank you so much Â
Can this be made the night before and then baked in the morning?Â
Yes or you can reheat it in the morning.
Do you think you could adapt this for a muffin tin or would it not stand up as a muffin?
Could you put together ingredients the night before and bake off in the morning?
Yes!
Love your baked oatmeal recipes! Any way to do them overnight in the slow cooker?Â
I haven’t tried them in a slow cooker. I will have to!
I just tried. Its so good for breakfast and not heavy and the flavors mix very well. Love it
I love this oatmeal recipe it was so so delicious I really enjoyed only thing the recipe doesn’t say how many calories are in it, I would definitely continue to make this.
So delicious! It’s such a nice change to the other baked oatmeal recipe I’ve been using and perfect for this time of year. Thanks for sharing!
One of our favorite easy breakfasts! Glad you liked it too!
I have been making this Baked Oatmeal since 2013! I have switched it up with different fruits and nuts-good every time. We have a great grand daughter who is 5 1/2, and “loves” Gramma’s Special Oatmeal! I also add 1 c of unsweetened coconut flakes, which I took from your Baked Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal recipe. My grand daughter happens to love the peaches, more than blueberries, and I like the added coconut flavor!
Thank you for both easy & great tasting recipes!
I’ve made this many times over the years! It is a crowd favorite with endless variations. Thank you very much!
So happy you love the baked oatmeal!
Love this Baked Peach Almond Oatmeal. Once I made a double batch to use up some peaches. Popped it in the oven and headed out for a walk. My ‘decorator neighbor’ down the street was having a yard sale and I said I couldn’t stay because I had to get my walk in before my baked oatmeal came out of the oven. She and her husband said they had never heard of baked oatmeal. I told her if she put aside a vintage serving dish I had my eye on, I would pick it up on my way back from my walk, wash it and return it filled with the baked oatmeal as a trade. She and her family loved the Peach Oatmeal and brought the empty dish to me with a thank you note and a request for the recipe! (2016)
I’ll have to post a picture once this batch comes out of the oven!
I just made this for my family yesterday morning. INSANELY DELICIOUS. We all love to have oatmeal in the morning so this was a welcomed spin off of what we traditionally eat. We even subbed in gluten free oats, flax seed (to replace the egg) and oat milk. It was incredible. The recipe calls for the perfect amount of almond extract that lends to this really delicious flavor. We had leftovers so I just ate some for breakfast this morning and it was just as good as the day before! You know a recipe’s a winner when my mom asks for the recipe to be shared with her. 🙂
I am so happy you loved it!
Well, I made this recipe and I have to say it was absolutely delicious!! I never changed a thing! I would give this recipe 10 stars! Loved it!! Thank you so much!
Can you use steel cut oats instead of rolled oats?
I haven’t tried them in this recipe.
How many portions for the 8×8 ?
This is a favorite breakfast recipe of mine as it does last a whole week. I add more fresh California Elberta Peaches than the recipe calls for, I substitute Planet Oat Milk for the Almond Breeze and I prefer using only the Vanilla Extract. I’ve even had a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream on top of this Peach Oatmeal Recipe as dessert in the evening! I so appreciate your recipes Maria – thank you!
I would be so appreciative if the nutrition could be included as I have to diet all the time. thanks
This was fabulous! I used a little less brown sugar, replaced the coconut oil with applesauce and used a flax egg and it still came out beautifully. Thank you for such a great recipe!
This baked oatmeal is sooo good! Our family prefers oatmilk so, I used plain oat milk and added an extra tsp of vanilla. Also, I used one flax egg instead of the egg ( 1 T. flaxmeal, 3T. water). I used 3 T. Earth Balance in place of coconut oil/butter. And, after combining the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in a separate bowl, I poured the liquid mixture over the dry mixture and stirred to combine.Then, I poured it all over the peaches and baked it.
We live in a cold climate and don’t have fresh peaches. Can you use frozen or canned peaches instead
Curious of the same. I can fresh peaches every summer, wondering if they would be ok to use in this recipe. Guess it can’t hurt to try! If I get around to baking it today I’ll reply.
Excellent, especially for this time of year! I had these lovely but damaged peaches STILL in my fridge. I chopped them last night so, I used a little more. Had to use up what I had, so it was pecans instead of almonds, 1-1/2 T coconut oil, 1-1/2 T butter for the whole 3 T coconut, and 1 c almond milk with 1 c cows milk. It looked a little liquidy ,so I put 1/2c of muesli on top, and then pressed it down w the back of my spoon. Perfection. I also put both the coconut oil and butter in the 8×8 pan in the oven while it heated up and added it to the milk mixture once it had cooled. Very forgiving recipe! Thank you.
I’m unable to find peaches this time of year, can I use a different fruit?
Sure!
I’d like to try this but it’s not peach season…would frozen or canned peaches work? Would I need to make any changes to the recipe? Also can I bake this in a muffin pan? Thanks
I would use frozen over canned peaches. A muffin pan should be fine, just reduce the baking time.
I made this recipe today. Turned out great!!! I will have this delicious breakfast for the next few days.
