Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 cups diced peaches
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the maple syrup is completely dissolved into the liquid.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until all oats are evenly coated.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches, distributing them evenly throughout the oatmeal mixture.
- Transfer the entire mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the dish to set and makes it easier to portion.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with additional fresh peaches, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips
- Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor - if out of season, high-quality frozen peaches work wonderfully too!
- For extra richness, try substituting half the milk with heavy cream or coconut milk.
- Want a crunchy topping? Sprinkle some chopped nuts like almonds or pecans before baking.
- Make sure to grease your baking dish well to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- This dish can be prepared the night before and refrigerated, then baked in the morning for a quick breakfast.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the wet ingredients.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
