Peach baked oatmeal is the perfect solution for using up those delicious summertime peaches. Delicious, sweet peaches are cooked down to form the topping on this baked oatmeal. Flavored with cinnamon and vanilla extract, this baked oatmeal is filling, nutritious, and packed with flavor. Serve this baked oatmeal for a sweet treat or dessert, or pair it with yogurt for the perfect, well-rounded breakfast. However you eat it, peach baked oatmeal is sure to please.
What is baked oatmeal, and what does this one taste like?
As I always explain when I make a new baked oatmeal recipe, baked oatmeal offers the comfort of a warm bowl of oatmeal, but with the ease and convenience of baking a cake to make multiple servings. I first started making baked oatmeal for this exact reason: I love warm oatmeal, but I didn’t want to make it every morning (let’s face it, stirring oatmeal on the stove is not the most fun or practical for a daily breakfast). Sure, you can get those packages of instant oatmeal with flavors, but if you’re anything like me, those don’t really keep me satisfied. This baked oatmeal is bulked up with other healthy ingredients to make this dish super satisfying, as well as delicious. The addition of cooked peaches on top of this baked oatmeal adds a built-in sweetener and side dish, without increasing the calories or stats by much! I love eating my baked oatmeal with a side of plain non fat Greek yogurt, with some cinnamon sprinkled on top. I also like using these Tasty Shake Mixin’s to flavor my plain non-fat Greek yogurt. They come in a variety of flavors, and I enjoy pairing the flavor with the different flavors of my baked oatmeal recipes. I typically eat the baked oatmeal out of a bowl with the yogurt, and take little bits of each component on the spoon. Baked oatmeal also pairs well with nut butter drizzled on top. The options are truly endless.
What you’ll need to make this peach baked oatmeal
- bananas
- unsweetened applesauce
- sugar
- cinnamon
- vanilla extract
- kosher salt
- baking powder
- old fashioned oats
- unsweetened almond or cashew milk, or skim milk
- fresh peaches
- lemon juice
- cornstarch
- water
Here are some substitution suggestions:
- If you don’t like or are allergic to bananas, add more unsweetened applesauce (approximately 1 cup is equivalent to two bananas).
- If you are diabetic or do not want to use real sugar, you can use sugar replacements.
- You can use frozen peaches, but you might have to skip the addition of water that the recipe calls for (it will become too watery, as frozen fruit holds on to water). Just use your judgment if you use frozen peaches.
How to make peach baked oatmeal
Making the peach topping
First, peel and chop the peaches (discard the pits). Add the fresh chopped peaches to a saucepan with the sugar. Combine the lemon juice, water and corn starch together to form a “slurry.” Add the slurry to the chopped peaches, and then put the saucepan on medium to medium-high heat. Cook the peaches for 10 minutes or so, or until the peaches are cooked down, broken down, and resemble a compote or jam consistency. Note: The peaches should be thick and jammy, not watery. Keep cooking them if they are too watery. Once the peach topping is done, set the pan aside to cool while you prepare the other ingredients.
Making the baked oats
Preheat the oven to 375F. Grab a baking dish or casserole dish (I use this one) and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas and add the applesauce. Next, add in the baking powder, salt, cinnamon, extract, and sugar. Once those ingredients are combined, add the milk and fold in the oats. Pour this mixture into the greased baking dish. Then, top with the peach mixture. Sprinkle with more cinnamon. Bake for 35 minutes.
Once the baked oatmeal is finished, remove from the oven to cool. You can store this baked oatmeal in the same baking dish you used to cook it in, just make sure it’s covered in the fridge. You can also freeze any of my baked oatmeal recipes. Make sure to wrap then tightly with plastic wrap in individual portions if you plan on freezing them. To serve and reheat the baked oatmeal, simply microwave individual portions until warmed through or defrosted thoroughly.

What about using canned peaches?
Maybe skip the water or use half?
Thanks!

jennifer says
I’m a sucker for sweets at breakfast and this does the trick for me but in a totally healthy way! The peaches add that sweets feeling and I topped with a little whipped cream 🙂 I recommend using only fresh peaches.

Love all the oatmeal bakes, but this one is next level!

Made this recipe this morning to kick off vacation and it was delicious!!
Kathleen says
Oh my gosh!! This is so delicious and seems so decadent! The peach topping really makes it taste like dessert, but I eat it for breakfast. Using monk fruit sweetener and cutting into 6 pieces, mine was only 2 WW blue points! Like Steph, ate with Greek yogurt. Don’t sleep on this one! 😍
Hope Reynolds says
This recipe was absolutely delicious 😋!
Lisa says
Just when I thought nothing could be better than the blueberry baked oatmeal… I try this, and it was absolutely incredible!!!!

I love this recipe! I like to make it on Sunday and have my breakfasts ready for the week. Yum.

My favorite oatmeal bake this far and I have made each one. The peaches are amazing right now and this was the perfect recipe to use them. I shared with my 97 year old neighbor and she loved this breakfast! Peach Perfect!
Lindsay says
I just got a peck of peaches and this was a perfect way to use them! I can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow!
Ed Engel says
Made recipe three times now and it is terrific. Very good left over. Peeling peaches is a pain and I’ve found the recipe comes out just fine without pealing them. Not peeling speeds things up considerably.
Mindy says
This is delicious . While fresh peaches are available , I encourage you make and enjoy it! BTW – I did not peel the peaches
Nicole says
This was my first baked oatmeal and it was soooo delicious!! Will be making this again.
Melissa says
Serving size is huge, flavor and texture were excellent. In additions to the peaches on top, I added peaches into the oatmeal mixture the second time I made this and loved it.
Melissa says
This is delicious. My husband is not a huge fan of peaches OR oatmeal and still absolutely loved this. So hearty and filling with just enough sweetness. Great for dessert and breakfast. Can’t wait to make again and this time add some walnuts and serve with ice cream.
Sarah says
Can you say bowl full-of heaven? It’s the perfect combination of flavors, and quite honestly, you might feel like you’re having dessert for breakfast. I’d take this over a donut any day! P.S. I love donuts, hence the reason I’ve joined WW… again! 😬
Alicia says
So good. This is the first time I have made one of your oatmeal bakes. I am going to have to try them all.
Andi says
Just when I think I Steph can’t outdo herself, oatmeal along comes this recipe. Wow. Summer fresh peaches in this baked oatmeal is phenomenal. I am so excited to have tried this recipe. Used the Two Good peach yogurt on the side. I definitely rate this one a 10/10.
Lauren Hunt says
I decided to meal prep breakfast for myself this week and tried one of your oatmeal bakes for the very first time. This recipe is absolutely delicious! Every bite is like a little piece of heaven in my mouth! I can’t wait to try all your other oatmeal bake recipes. This was so easy to make and so delicious – I feel like it’s going to be a staple in my food prep day!
Doreen says
This was so delicious! I fixed this for my husband, our son, daughter-in-law and our 21 month old grandson. My husband is a picky eater and he loved! Our 22 month old grandson had 3 servings!
Cobaltgirl86 says

Mary says
I have made this several times. It is so good! I love it for breakfast and sometimes as an evening snack!
Meghan says
This recipe is a MUST MAKE! It is fantastic. I omit the cinnamon and it is no problem.
Allyson says
I made this using fresh peaches I froze in 2019 and it was absolutely delicious– made me excited for peach season 2022 🙂
V says
I love that this is so easy to make. Didn’t have fresh peaches but was looking for that oatmeal comfort and used canned peaches from my pantry. I prepared them exactly like the recipe calls for the fresh peaches and it came out amazing.
Ed Engel says
This was my first experience with baked oatmeal. Made me a fan of baked oatmeals. The only downside is peeling the peaches. I have found it is not necessary to peel them. It will be just as good and a lot less work if you leave the peels on. There will be small pieces of peel in the final product but that does not detract at all.
Jem says
So good!
Easy way to peel peaches. Only takes a few seconds in the boiling water…works for tomatoes, too! You can google how to peel peaches for directions with photos. I’ve done it this way many times when I’ve made pies or had to peel large quantities to freeze.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Once boiling, add peaches.
Immediately immerse the peaches in an ice water water.
Make a small incision just into the peel of the peach using a paring knife and peel back the skin.
Repeat this process until the entire peach is peeled.
Veronica says
An I used canned or frozen peaches?
Ally says
Wow ! What an amazing breakfast reciepe. I used frozen peaches and added a tiny bit of water. This was so simple to make and it was a perfect deliciously sweet breakfast. I served w a side of non fat Greek yogurt and I was filled for hours.
Heather says
My family loves all of your oatmeal bakes and this was another win! Thank you!
jessica Lytle says
I have been making the almond oat bake for months and decided to switch it up, I wasn’t disappointed! This is such a nice way to start your day, filling and delicious!
Chelsea says
So yummy! Got some fresh summer peaches and it came out perfect. I saw this on your IG and couldn’t wait to make it! So excited for breakfast tomorrow.
Sonia says
I just took it out of the oven. Besides the house smelling good, so is the oatmeal. It looks and tastes delicious. (I had to taste a little bit) I can hardly wait for breakfast.
Michelle says
This looks amazing and can’t wait to try it. I’d like a bit more protein, do you think I could add a protein powder and have it still come out well?
Steph says
absolutely!
Kelly says
This Peach Bake Oatmeal is so delicious! It is definitely going to go into my breakfast rotation!
Michelle Alameda says
I forgot to buy a lemon. Can I substitute something for the lemon or omit it?
Marianne Crann says
OMG! this is delicious – like eating peach crumble xoxo
Samantha Bodenstine says
Love eating breakfast for dessert! Steph’s baked oatmeals are always a winner.
Michelle says
This was excellent and I’m making it again just a week later. I even ate it cold one morning- and it was still great!
