Peaches and Cream Baked Oatmeal mixes oats and sweet peaches that are baked together in this hearty and comforting breakfast dish.  The dish is so tasty, you might think it is dessert! You can substitute other fruits for the peaches–like bananas or berries.  Serve it alone, or top it with milk or Greek yogurt. A family favorite and kid-friendly. 

Peaches and Cream Baked Oatmeal

Peaches and Cream Baked Oatmeal.  It just has a nice ring to it, right?

Warm, sweet, baked oatmeal…what is there not to love?

I could not keep my kids hands off of this oatmeal. They love all kinds of oatmeal, from overnight oats, to slow cooker oats, but I think baked oatmeal is now their front runner.  

The nice thing about this recipe is that you can make it and save the leftovers for breakfast or snack-time throughout the week.

The oatmeal holds up well in an airtight container, so you just have to heat it up and wallah! You have an easy breakfast, that is also healthy!

I am excited to share this Peaches and Cream Baked Oatmeal from a fellow food blogger, Dr. Sonali Ruder of the food blog The Food Physician’s, new cookbook called Natural Baby Food.  

As many of you know I have two young children, ages 2 1/2 and 5. Since they were born nutrition and what goes into their body has been important to me.

When they first started eating solid food, I was pureeing up different foods and creating fun recipes for them to try.

While I enjoyed watching them experience foods for the first time, I have to admit that with my first son, it was a bit overwhelming and intimidating.

I knew a good amount about healthy eating from my Mom, who is a dietician, but still felt nervous that I was going to mess it all up.

I didn’t want to do something wrong and create a picky eater. Or give them the wrong food that might cause an allergy. 

From talking to readers and my friends I know I am no alone on this one!

I had a couple of cookbooks that helped guide me when it came to feeding my kids solids, but I wish I had Natural Baby Food back then.

This cookbook is packed full of delicious recipes, and a great book to refer to when you have a question about a certain stage of intro ducting foods.

It is the perfect resource for both experienced parents like me, or new parents. It has over 150 nutritions and delicious recipes that even the pickiest of eaters will love.  

An added bonus, the last section includes recipe that the whole family can enjoy together!

When it comes to planning a healthy diet for your child, Natural Baby Food helps to remove the guesswork and fears a lot of parents have.

The first part of the book covers all of the pertinent medical and nutrition information about starting your baby on solids and the second part has over 150 recipes for things like Banana Date Oat Muffins, Cheesy Cauliflower Rice, Turkey and Hummus Pinwheels and more.  

The recipes are broken down by stage and the last chapter has toddler recipes that the whole family can enjoy together.

I have always felt that food is important, for not only the health of my children, but to help them develop healthy eating habits and an adventurous attitude towards food.

Food is such a huge part of my life and I have always hoped that my children would develop the same love I have.

Like I mentioned, Peaches and Cream Baked Oatmeal was a huge hit in my house with not only my kids, but my husband and I.

I plan to make other versions of this oatmeal using a variety of fruits, like bananas and mixed berries.

This will definitely go into my regular recipe rotation.

One tip I is to make this oatmeal the night before and let it cool on the counter.

Once it is cooled, cover the oatmeal and put it in the fridge. Then in the morning you can either portion out the oatmeal and heat it in the microwave or quickly warm it back up in the oven.

Breakfast has never been so easy…and healthy!

 

I was sent a copy of Natural Baby Food to review. As always opinions are 100% my own!
