  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Main 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

Toppings

  • Sliced peaches, for topping
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, for sprinkling
  • Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan using cooking spray to ensure the oatmeal doesn't stick.
  2. Brown the Butter: Place unsalted butter cut into tablespoon pieces in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently as the butter melts, foams, and eventually browns, releasing a nutty aroma, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Once browned, scrape it into a small bowl and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine old fashioned oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and kosher salt. Stir to evenly mix all dry ingredients together and set aside.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the milk over the oat mixture, then add the cooled browned butter, eggs, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until everything is thoroughly combined. Gently fold in the chopped peaches to incorporate them evenly.
  5. Assemble and Top: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Arrange sliced peaches on top and sprinkle with turbinado sugar for extra sweetness and a slight crunch.
  6. Bake and Serve: Bake the mixture in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the baked oatmeal is set and the top is lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream for added richness.

Notes

  • For creamier baked oatmeal, use whole milk or a milk alternative such as almond or oat milk.
  • Make sure to brown the butter carefully to avoid burning; the nutty aroma and golden color indicate it’s ready.
  • Fresh, ripe peaches work best, but you can substitute frozen peaches (thawed and drained) if necessary.
  • This baked oatmeal can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of brown sugar or maple syrup according to your preference.
