This Peaches and Cream Baked Oatmeal is great for a special brunch. It’s an elegant way to upgrade hum-drum oatmeal. It’s healthy (those oats have great soluble fiber). It’s low in sugar and fat. It’s vegetarian.
Lightly oil an 8-inch square baking pan, a 3-quart oven proof dish, or 6 shallow oven-proof bowls with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine oats, peaches, and sugar (if using maple syrup, add to the wet ingredients). In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients (and maple syrup if using). Beat wet ingredients with a fork or wire whisk until blended. Add milk mixture to oat mixture, stirring to combine.
Pour mixture into prepared pan, and bake, uncovered, 60-70 minutes for a large dish or 40-45 minutes for 6 small dishes, or until golden brown and set in the center.
