Ingredients

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups old fashioned oats
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups milk*
2 large eggs
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped peaches
Sliced peaches, for topping
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, for sprinkling
Whipped cream, for serving, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Place the butter, in tablespoon pieces, in a medium saucepan and melt over medium heat, stirring often, until it foams, smells nutty, and browns. This will take about 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape the browned butter into a small bowl. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Pour the milk over the oat mixture. Add the browned butter, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. Fold in the chopped peaches.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Top with sliced peaches and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the oats are set and lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

If you want an extra rich baked oatmeal, you can use 1 cup of milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream for a true peaches and cream oatmeal.
