Baked Peaches and Cream Oatmeal.
I made you breakfast!
Copious amounts of coffee included, obviously.
Okay SO. If you’re been reading as long as I’ve been rambling (hi, seven years) then you know that I was freakishly obsessed with quaker peaches and cream oatmeal as a kid. Even today, I love the artificial peach taste and a packet made with milk is complete comfort food for me. I even bought a box of it when Max was born and ate it once a day.
Shhhhh. Don’t tell anyone.
STOP JUDGING ME.
I go back and forth with oatmeal, aside from my love of the instant stuff that food lovers with sophisticated palettes consider to be trash. I really enjoy steel cut oats and overnight oats. I’d prefer to eat my oats cold, but it’s mostly just a texture thing. And that’s why I’ve always enjoyed baked oatmeal. So much texture!
It’s almost like eating an oatmeal cake or something. Chewy with a few crunchy bits and whatever flavors you love to add.
Now why is this so wonderfully delicious? It has peach jam baked into the oatmeal.
Oh my gosh. It’s dreamy. It is theeee closest recipe I’ve found to those packets from my childhood and tastes like a big old bowl of nostalgia.
My friend Rebecca is the ULTIMATE canner. You’ve heard me rave about her candied jalapeños time and time again – just making a quick version and not canning my own – because they are wildly addictive and make everything taste incredible. And I’m so excited to tell you that she came out with a new book: Not Your Mama’s Canning Book. So cute. And?
THE RECIPES!! I die.
You guys. I’ve never canned anything. I don’t have the tools or the supplies to can anything. I’m not overly interested in it (does it require standing over a hot pot of water or something? That just doesn’t sound fun.) and figured that I would make a recipe from Rebecca’s book anyway. I made the oatmeal and used some of my favorite red haven peach jam, because her recipes are always spot on.
And then, I ended up tagging a million pages in her book of canning recipes that I want to make.
And then I remembered that I had amazon prime.
And then I decided that this year I had to can all of the things. I have a ton of plums in my kitchen right now. When I get back from vacation, I’m going hog wild with the peaches. Maybe I can do something with blueberries??
I’m into it. She even has stuff to can with bourbon. SOLD.
Plus, her book just makes it look so EASY. I’ve always been ridiculously intimidated by the whole canning process but now I feel like I can actually DO it.
Also, can I just tell you that I adore Rebecca so much. She inspires me and encourages me; she is a wonderful person and hilarious and she has FIVE boys. And she ate a smoked blue cheese chocolate truffle with me fours years ago and well – do you even NEED anything else for friendship?
Baked Peaches and Cream Oatmeal.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup peach jam or peach butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 large peach, thinly sliced
- milk or heavy cream for topping
- whipped cream for topping
- toasted almonds for toppings
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the butter in an 8×8-inch baking dish and set it in the oven until the butter just melts. Remove the pan once melted.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, peach jam and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients stirring until everything is combined and wet. Scrape the mixture into the buttered dish and stir until most of the butter is incorporated, but leave some pockets of butter in the corners. Smooth out of the top and add the peach slices.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Serve hot with a splash of heavy cream, extra peaches, whipped cream and toasted almonds.

Yum, my favorite . Peaches and oats.
Do you also know Marisa McClellan? She is a PA canner too.
i do not! i will look into it, thanks alicia!
I will definitely have to try this. I had baked oatmeal on vacation years ago and looooooved it. I may even go a little hog wild and add cranberries and some nuts. I like to live on the edge.
wild and free! ;)
Oh gosh that peach jam just puts the whole thing over the top. And I will take any and every excuse to eat whipped cream at breakfast.
it seriously changed the game for me.
Umm dying. I so wish this was my actual breakfast right now. I feel like it would be sooo good with some coconut whipped cream too!

yes it would!
I need to try this oatmeal soon, need to get some fresh peaches off-course. It’s definitely gonna be my Sunday breakfast.
enjoy!
I love love love baked oatmeal! And with peach preserves and fresh peaches, count me in!
so good!
I have zero patience for canning so did a quick peach jam last year – game changer. People say “oh, but it only lasts a week” um, yah, and it’s so delicious it won’t be in the fridge longer anyway….
Quaker peaches & cream instant oatmeal is the best, and with milk is the only way to make it. i can’t give it up so have it once a week before yoga. A little bit of carbs, and little bit of sweet, a little bit of fake fruit. Perfection.
it is SO the best.
Woah, this recipe just made mah day!! I also used to eat a packet of quaker instant oatmeal before school (strawberries and cream tho, YUM) before I decided to eat more healthy but this…this oatmeal…*dies and goes to heaven* LOOKS SPECTACULAR AND SO DELICIOUS. Definitely a must try before school starts up again!
i was also a huge strawberries and cream fan.
My Friend just told me about this easiest method of earning money from home. I’ve just tried it and now I am making $4500 per month without spending too much time. you can alse learn about this trick by the link below………

I have a Sam’s Club-sized box of instant oatmeal packets in various flavors that I’m not ashamed about. I still love it too. I will always love the Maple Brown Sugar the best, and Apple Cinnamon comes in 2nd place, but THIS is the oatmeal that dreams are made of. Oatmeal for grown ups! Baked oatmeal is totally delightful!
i love you even more now.

hey girl this looks so yummy!
thank you!
1. This looks delicious!
2. Every time you including a pouring shot in a post, I wonder how long it took you to get good at that ;) Like, I’m sure you’re a pro at it now, but were there early years of your blog when you’d be pouring the milk but looking at the camera and totally miss the bowl? Because that has definitely never, ever happened to me while trying to instagram a cup of coffee. Never.
um omg – i STILL miss the bowl (or object of the day) constantly! it’s easier now because sometimes i have someone helping me while i shoot, but i did this one by myself and it was close for sure, haha.
OK, so for sure get all the books from Marisa McClellan. She’s a canning genius and her recipes are epic. Also check out her blog Food in Jars. For the blueberries you mentioned…i just yesterday made her blueberry maple jam and it literally changed my life! I don’t think i ever want any other kind of jam!! And canning is so worth it! No need to get the gigantic water bath pots…just find your largest pot you already own and go get one of the silicone canning racks from Amazon that your pots can sit on. Those little cage things from Wal Mart are garbage and they rust nonstop. Silicone > everything!
i’m definitely going to!! thanks catherine!
I loooovvve baked oatmeal, so I am excited to try this out! I too have always been disinterested in canning because of the standing over hot water thing, but you may have swayed me to try it out.
right? that’s what held me back too but i think it’s worth it.
I can totally picture myself serving this for brunch or breakfast for a crowd!
yummm!!
thanks michelle!
I’ll take the entire batch!
thanks love!
hmmm…can this be made the night before OR can it be prepared the night before and baked in the morning and reheated through the week or frozen individually for breakfast all winter? Endless possibilities and not just peaches can be used
i definitely think it can be made the night before AND frozen. :)

Also wondering if this could be made night before and baked in the morning. Anyone know if that would work?
i think it would! if you add the peaches on top, i’d wait until right before. Also, the oats may soak up all the milk, so you may need to add extra milk in the morning and increase/decrease bake time depending on that?
Your pictures look so amazing, honestly one of the top food photographers I have ever seen. You could probably make dog poop look good.
cristal, you are too kind. thank you so much!
Trying this for the first day of school breakfast. We are all very excited!
love! let me know how it is. :)
We loved it Jessica! My 6 year old is already thinking of the different jam/fruit combinations we can make when we want to mix it up.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe! I’m trying it tomorrow with apples and apple butter. I’m sure it can’t be anything but amazing! Thanks for all your great recipes!
Pingback: Baked peaches and cream oatmeal. _ how sweet it is original oatmeal cookies
Made this last night to eat for breakfast this week. It is soooo good! My peach jam was a little on the sweet side so I only used 1/4 cup brown sugar. It came out perfectly. Heated it up this morning with a splash of milk, blueberries and toasted pecans. Thanks for a great recipe!
This recipe came out great! I mixed the peaches right into the batter, and a splash of heavy cream. Next time I’ll probably cut the sugar in half.
I think I’m going to try this with apples and apple butter since it’s not peach season right now because apple baked oatmeal sounds sooo good!
I made this for dinner tonight. What are meals anyway? It was so darn delicious. I will definitely remake again, maybe for lunch next time!
I have made this recipe countless times. It’s a staple for us in the winter months when you want a little sunshine in a bowl. It’s only fall but I just succumbed and made this for the first time this season. I made the recipe exactly as is for probably a year but once before coffee I accidentally added almond extract instead of vanilla. It was overpowering but ever since, we add 1/4 tsp of almond extract. I also use homemade peach butter. I take this oatmeal very seriously. I also was obsessed with the 🍑 & cream packets growing up! Thanks for a beyond tried and true recipe!
I’m making this for the first time this cozy season tomorrow and since I’ve made this so many times over the years, I thought I should write a review. I love this recipe and it’s become one of my most beloved wintertime recipes when you need a little sunshine and warmth on a dreary day. I toast my oats beforehand in browned butter and a little of salt. And I use my canned peach butter but honestly, just store-brand peach slices in syrup and I don’t drain the syrup. I don’t have access to fresh peaches and I don’t even mind because the syrup adds just another dimension of heaven to this. :)
