Ingredients
Fruit
- 2 medium-sized fresh peaches
- ½ cup blueberries
Wet Ingredients
- 1½ cups milk
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare fruit: Preheat your oven to 350℉. Clean the peaches thoroughly and cut them into chunks. Place the peach chunks along with the blueberries evenly at the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish coated lightly with non-stick spray or oil.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, plain yogurt, large egg, and brown sugar until fully combined and smooth.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate large bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon. Stir to distribute the spices evenly through the oats.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until everything is evenly mixed and a batter forms.
- Assemble in dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture over the arranged peaches and blueberries in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to retain moisture and steam the oats. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Bake uncovered: After 20 minutes, carefully remove the foil and continue baking for about 25 more minutes or until the top is a delicious golden brown and the oats are fully set.
- Serve: Let the baked oatmeal cool slightly, then serve warm. It pairs wonderfully with cold milk, whipped cream, vanilla yogurt, or enjoyed plain as is.
Notes
- Use an 8×8 baking dish for best results and even baking.
- You can substitute other fresh or frozen fruits depending on season and preference.
- Covering the dish during the initial baking allows the oats to steam and become tender without drying out.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated the next day for a quick breakfast.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
