Baked Peach Oatmeal

[JMediger]

So I got it together enough this afternoon to make this Baked Peach Oatmeal ... Baked Peach Almond Oatmeal | Baked Oatmeal Recipe | Two Peas & Their Pod . I like that it's something that I could put together, bake off, and then will have available to reheat each morning for breakfast this week.

I changed a few things ...
1. I mixed everything in a large bowl before I dumped into the pan.
2. I mixed the chopped peaches into everything before going into the pan.
3. I pulled it out right at the 40 minute mark knowing it could go another 10 to get the nice, brown top they recommend. My thought was that I don't want it to get overly dry when I reheat it each morning.

It turned out pretty well. It was quick and easy to mix up which is what I need right now. I have mixed feelings on the almond extract. I might leave it out next time. The chopped almonds and almond milk may give it enough almond flavor.

Enjoy!

I kept thinking of the different fruits it would work with ... blueberries, cherries, etc. I had another couple bites later in the day and I decided I would leave out the almond extract. It just tasted to "extract'y" for me. I would rather toast the almonds to get more flavor. Let me know what you think!

It's in the toaster oven as we type, I had to use canned peaches and I didn't have almond extract or almonds. I used some pecans I had. It's just starting to smell good.

I used canned peaches too. Pecans should great! Share your results for sure

It tastes wonderful!!! I'm going to separate it for breakfast each day. I have some dried figs, I think I might soak them and try them out in the oatmeal.

I would try apples and walnuts. I also have some dried strawberries that I may throw in. I hope to make a batch this week sometime. I usually buy theseProduct: Hot Cereals - Quaker Real Medleys,Apple Walnut oatmeal | QuakerOats.com but if I can make my own would be great.

This was perfect for breakfast this morning. Started me out just great this morning. Can't wait to change it up in a week.

 

[JMediger]

PF, I did that too. I let it cool and then cut it into squares to portion out for the week. I gave some to my parents since it made 3 squares too many . The figs sound good!

Jabbur, the dried strawberries sound really good too!

 

[PrincessFiona60]

I have frozen blueberries, too! I may even sacrifice a Granny Smith, my favorite apple!

I know this is meant for breakfast and is healthy but I'm just fantasizing how wonderful this would be over vanilla ice cream. OMG!

 

[JMediger]

mmyap ... I love spaghetti for breakfast. Who's to say when we should eat something. I think with ice cream is a wonderful idea for my last 2 pieces!

I'm hoping to tackle this one tomorrow. I got some Macintosh apples at the store today and I already have walnuts. I'm hoping to do apple walnut instead of peach almond. I'll let you know if I get it done how it is.
