    The peach season is upon us, and we've been busy biting into this sweet and fragrant fruit with its juices dripping down our chins.

    While this quintessential summer fruit is perfection enjoyed plain, it can transform any recipe into something extraordinary. Like this baked peach oatmeal!

    This was inspired by my insanely popular strawberry baked oatmeal, and I can't wait for you to make this.

    • Baked Peach Oatmeal (No Sugar Added)

    Ingredients

    All the ingredients laid out on a white background.

    I am highlighting just the ones that need further explanation. The complete list is in the recipe card below.

    • Peaches - Use ripe, in-season peaches for the best flavor! If they’re out of season or you want to use a more convenient option, you can use frozen peaches.
    • Dates - Complement the peaches so well and provide additional sweetness without any added sugars. Soak first in hot water so that they will blend easily. Be sure to discard the pits and water.
    • Oats - rolled or old-fashioned oats will work best.
    • Milk - can use any milk of choice.
    • Egg (optional) - If there's no egg-allergy, feel free to add an egg. It will boost nutrition and make the oatmeal creamier and fluffier.

    How to serve peach to babies

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Add milk, chopped peach, and soaked dates into a food processor or blender.
    2. Blend until smooth. Now you have peach milk!
    3. Add all the ingredients into the greased baking dish except for the sliced peaches. Stir to combine.
    4. Top with peaches and bake!

    Serving Suggestions

    A slice of oatmeal with yogurt and maple syrup.

    This peach baked oatmeal can be enjoyed as-is or with cold milk poured over the top.

    To take it to the next level, top the oats with

    • Peanut butter or almond butter (be sure to thin out for babies)
    • A drizzle of maple syrup or honey (not for babies under 1)
    • Date syrup - a great no added sugar option for babies and toddlers
    • Yogurt
    • Nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans) - be sure to finely ground or chop for babies and young toddlers

    Make Ahead Tips

    If you want to prep ahead of time all the way up to baking - Add all the ingredients into the baking pan minus the peach milk. Store it separately and pour the milk over the mixture when you are ready to bake. Otherwise, the oats will absorb all the liquid and you will end up with dry oatmeal.

    You can also bake, store in the refrigerator, and reheat as suggested below. A quick breakfast or snack to enjoy throughout the week!

    Storage

    In the refrigerator

    I like to slice leftover baked oatmeal into individual portions and store in an airtight container for 4-5 days in the refrigerator.

    Oatmeal will thicken in the refrigerator so if you want to enjoy it porridge-style with a spoon, adding milk can help loosen the oats when reheating.

    In the freezer

    Cut into desired portions, wrap in plastic wrap, and place in a freezer-safe bag. It will be good for up to 3 months.

    Reheat in the microwave at 30 second intervals for 1-2 minutes or in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.

    You can also enjoy cold or at room temperature.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use frozen peaches?

    Yes! Just be sure to thaw in the fridge and you are good to go! But for best flavor, use fresh peaches when in season!

    Can I use quick or steel-cut oats for baked oatmeal?

    You can use quick oats but the oatmeal will end up much softer.
    Steel cut oats need a lot more moisture than rolled oats and will also need to be cooked longer. It may work by tweaking the recipe, but I haven't tried it. If you do, please share in the comments section!

    What is the best milk to use for baked oatmeal?

    I like to use whole milk because that's what we always have on hand. But you can use any dairy or dairy-free milk of choice, like almond milk.
    If you like tropical flavors, try using coconut milk.

      Looks great! The ingredients list states 1 medium peach to add to the blender, but the additional recipe notes state 1 cup of peaches to add to the blender - which is correct? Thanks!

      Hi Min, could I use frozen peaches? The top ones might not be so pretty, but would they be ok for flavor and consistency? Need a break from pumpkins and squashes! Thanks!!

        Hi! The oatmeal may be a bit wetter but think will work. Or just skip the top and enjoy with any of the toppings as mentioned. It will be delicious 🙂

      I don’t have any dates. Can I use an alternative natural sweetener (not honey) for this? Thinking maple syrup?

        Yes maple syrup will work well! You can also add a medium banana mashed if looking for another no added sugar option.
