Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ÂĽ tsp salt
- â…“ cup brown sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ÂĽ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups milk (almond or whole milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Fruits
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or defrosted if frozen)
- 2 peaches, cut into chunks (fresh, defrosted if frozen, or canned)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the quick-cooking oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar, mixing thoroughly to evenly distribute all dry components.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the eggs, melted unsalted butter, milk, and optional vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture well until everything is fully incorporated into a smooth batter.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or defrosted blueberries into the batter to avoid crushing them, ensuring an even fruit distribution throughout the oatmeal.
- Assemble & Bake: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with the peach chunks laid out uniformly over the batter’s surface for balanced flavor in each bite.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges turn a golden brown, indicating the oatmeal is fully cooked.
- Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally adding a splash of milk for extra creaminess.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based butter and milk.
- Quick-cooking oats can be substituted with rolled oats for a chewier texture, but baking time may increase slightly.
- Peaches can be fresh, canned (drained), or frozen (defrosted) based on what’s available.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat before serving.
- Feel free to swap blueberries for other berries like raspberries or blackberries.
