📝Ingredients for peach baked oatmeal

• Gluten Free Oats - go for "quick" oats (3 or 5 min) or "large flake" oats (just not instant)
• Oat flour - you can buy gluten-free oat flour (I like Only Oats) or you can make oat flour by blending large flake oats in a high speed blender or food processor
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Cinnamon
• Apple sauce, unsweetened
• Peanut butter, natural
• Pure maple syrup
• Fresh Peaches - 2 cups diced, about 3-4 whole peaches

🥣How to make baked oatmeal with peaches

Making this baked peach oatmeal is soooo easy.

Here's the high level steps (more details in the recipe card below):

• Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a square, 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper

🔄Substitutions

• No oat flour? If you don't want to use oat flour, you can use 1:1 gluten-free baking flour. The texture will change a little bit with (obvi) less oat taste.

• Honey instead of maple syrup: instead of maple syrup, you could use honey for sweetness. You could also use brown sugar instead of the maple syrup.

• Type of peanut butter: If you have "regular" (non-natural) peanut butter, you can try it BUT it does result in a baked oatmeal that's on the drier side.

• With multiple recipe testing, I've found that the little extra bit of moisture from the natural peanut keeps it nice and moist.

• Different applesauce - I just made this recipe again and I didn't have regular, plain unsweetened applesauce. But I did have those little "cups" of applesauce that I get for the kids lunches.

• And it happened to be PEACH🍑 flavoured. It worked out totally fine for the recipe.

• So if you have a flavoured, unsweetened applesauce - go for it😄

🥡Storing and Freezing

Leftovers of the baked oatmeal with peaches are good for up to 3 days. Store any leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge.

To re-heat the baked oatmeal, place a portion in the microwave until you get it the temperature you want.

It doesn't take long to warm this deliciousness up😋

You can freeze this baked oatmeal too.

Wrap cut squares in parchment paper and freeze in an air-tight container for up to 3 months.

🍽️What to serve with peach oatmeal bake

When making this for breakfast, a natural fit for serving is a dollop of Greek yogurt and extra peaches.
