Apparently it's unofficially peach week here on The Baker's Almanac, but I'm not mad about it! After making my Peach and Blackberry Fruit Pizza, I still had quite a few peaches lying around, and I was brainstorming different ways to use them up. Then it hit me—why not toss them into some oatmeal?

Personally, I feel like you can never go wrong with oatmeal. However, when it comes to oatmeal, I don't usually stray too far from my usual recipes. I either toss in some strawberries, chocolate chips, and almonds, or I like to make a variation of these Chocolate Orange Oats. These are some of my tried-and-true favorites, and they are guaranteed to start my morning off right.

But change is good, and it's even better when it comes in the form of this oatmeal with brown sugar-glazed peaches. Is it just me or does the word 'glazed' make any food sound better?

This oatmeal is super simple to whip up, and it only takes a few ingredients. While the oatmeal is cooking on the stove, you can easily make the brown sugar-glazed peaches. With everything all together, you'll have breakfast on the table in less than fifteen minutes!

I know I'll be adding this recipe into my regular oatmeal rotation, and I have a feeling you might be as well.

Description

With peaches coated in a delicious brown sugar glaze, this oatmeal is a delicious way to start your morning off right.

---

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 cup (92g) old-fashioned oats 
• 2 cups (480g) milk of choice, or water 
• 2 tablespoons (27g) unsalted butter 
• ¼ cup (25g) slivered almonds 
• ¼ cup light brown sugar 
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 yellow peach (125g), thinly sliced 

---

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan on the stove, bring milk or water to a boil over medium heat.
2. Once boiling, reduce the heat down to medium-low and add in the old-fashioned oats. Stirring occasionally, cook until the oats have soaked up most of the liquid, about 10-15 minutes.
3. While the oatmeal is cooking, slice the peach into very thin slices and set aside.
4. In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add in the slivered almonds and stir until the almonds are lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
5. Next, add in the light brown sugar, cinnamon, and peach slices. Continue stirring the mixture to evenly coat the peaches with the brown sugar mixture. Cook the mixture for 3-5 minutes, until the peaches have softened and the mixture has started to bubble slightly.
6. Once you reach your desired oatmeal consistency, transfer the oatmeal to a bowl. Spoon the brown sugar-glazed peach mixture on top and serve as desired.

Notes

• As with any oatmeal, feel free to use whatever liquid you desire. I like to use unsweetened almond milk, but it would also be delicious with whole milk or even water!
• If you have a nut allergy, or prefer not to include the almonds, you can easily remove these from the recipe. Simply omit them and continue on with the rest of the recipe as usual.
