Peaches & Cream Baked Oatmeal
Oatmeal is hands-down one of my ultimate comfort foods. I mean…I did only eat oatmeal every morning for seven, maybe eight, years straight. As the years went on, I started experimenting with different ways to get my oatmeal fix and came across baked oatmeal, which practically tastes like dessert! Not only is it healthy, it’s also extremely filling and usually keeps me full all morning long.
My secret to taking baked oatmeal to the next level is canned peaches. I love using canned peaches since you can get them year-round and they make the oatmeal extra delicious, comforting and convenient. I try to go grocery shopping as little as possible these days so I’ve been stocking up on canned foods, which are easy to use, shelf-stable, and a great addition to some of my favorite comfort-food recipes. It literally tastes like peach cobbler and reminds me of summer whenever I eat it.
The best part about baked oatmeal is that it’ll last up to a week in the fridge so all you have to do is add some milk and heat it up in the morning. I love having a warm breakfast to start my day and this is a great option for a busy schedule because I don’t always have time to cook every morning. Try it for yourself to see what I mean!
