Peach Baked Oatmeal
Peach Baked Oatmeal
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup maple syrup OR brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chopped canned peaches (-if using fresh, cook down a bit first)
- Mix the ingredients: Add the oats, milk, applesauce, walnuts, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and salt to a large bowl. Mix well.
- Layer in a casserole dish: Lightly grease a 7×11 inch rectangular baking dish. Spread half the oat mixture in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with about ¾ of the peaches. Top with the remaining oat mixture, carefully smoothing the top. Sprinkle on the remaining peaches. You can also sprinkle on some extra walnuts and nutmeg if you like!
- Chill the dish: Cover the casserole dish and chill in the refrigerator overnight (see notes for instructions to bake right away)
- Bake the dish: The next morning, remove the dish from the fridge. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake until set and golden on top, about 30-35 minutes. Rest for 5 minutes on a rack on the counter, then slice and serve warm.
