Put breakfast on autopilot with this easy baked oatmeal recipe that uses seasonal fruit for sweetness and heart-healthy pecans for crunch!
I love oatmeal for breakfast but in the summer, I usually take a break from having it hot and enjoy oats with yogurt or in muesli. However, this past weekend, I got a hankering for a bowl of oatmeal that I couldn’t shake.
I hadn’t made baked oatmeal in a few years and had a jug of milk that was about to expire. I looked up recipes because I needed a refresher on how to make it. Cooking Light came to the rescue with their easy recipe.
I don’t particularly like raisins and had some extra peaches laying around so made a few adjustments to create this late summer Fresh Peach & Pecan Baked Oatmeal. It’s the perfect base. I’ll probably make it again this weekend using figs and later in the fall with apples.

I’ve been eating it every morning this week. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Go ahead and PIN the recipe for later!

I’m like you! I love oatmeal for breakfast but I’ve been enjoying ALL the smoothies this summer 🙂 I’m sure I’ll go back to oats when things cool down a bit.
Marisa
Yes. With the hurricane cooling things down here in the south, I’m getting all of the feels for fall.

I saw this on your InstaStory and glad I got to the recipe. I adore baked oatmeal too but it’s been too long since I’ve made it – this combo sounds lovely!
Marisa
Thanks, Deanna! It’s now in regular rotation. Next week I’m adding figs!
Kaleigh @ Lively Table
My favorite flavors all together in my favorite breakfast! Can’t wait to make this fabulous dish!

This looks so tasty! I’ll definitely bookmark and save this to my breakfast lists. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Marisa
Thank you, Sareta. Let me know if you give it a try!
Christine
My daughter came home from a missions trip to Louisiana and wanted the baked oatmeal she had down there. I’ve never made it, so I’m trying your recipe tomorrow morning! Thanks!
Marisa
Awesome! Please let me know what you think! I’m going to make it again this weekend with fresh figs on top!
Inga
I’m so glad I found this recipe! It’s a delicious way to wake up on a cold morning! I put peaches on the bottom and on the top, and I didn’t have pecans so I subbed in sliced almonds. Really wonderful! Thank you!
Marisa
Thanks so much for the note, Inga. Great idea. Almonds would be delicious for sure!
Kathy
Can canned peaches be used?!
Marisa
Yes. Canned peaches work great. Just be sure to drain them well. Hope you enjoy it!
Judy
It doesn’t say how much vanilla to use.
Marisa
Hi Judy. Thanks for the note and pardon the omission. I will update the list.
I’d use 1 teaspoon but the recipe works great with or without the vanilla.
Myrtle
Recipe sounds great will be trying this morning thanks so much.
Mary
Can this be mixed up the night before and bake in the morning?
Marisa
Hi Mary, Yes. This can definitely be prepped the night before and baked in the morning.
Mary
Hello! This oatmeal tastes great and is so easy to make. I just mix it up and refrigerate overnight. Bake in the morning. We really enjoy it. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Mary
Christina
Delicious! This was so easy to make and almost all ingredients we already had on hand! Love that you can switch it up with seasonal fruit.
Carolyn
This was so good!!! I struggle with breakfast and finally found a way to enjoy oatmeal with this recipe! Thank you!
How big would you say a serving is (in cups, ounces or grams)?
Brandie
I’ve been eyeing this recipe for days now and finally had some time today to try it out and it’s delicious! Perfect for breakfast or a snack, not too sweet and the fruit on top keeps it from being too dry like oatmeal can sometimes be. I used oat milk, nectarines and chopped walnuts since that’s all I had in the pantry. Will definitely be making this regularly.
Katie
I also tried it with plain oat milk because my daughter has a dairy allergy and it is delicious! I am so glad that you posted your comment. I will also be making this often!
Joan
Can I use a flax egg in place of a real egg?
Thanks!
Marisa
You definitely can. Flax or chia eggs work great!
Lane
Has this recipe been tried with steel cut oats?
Melissa
Fabulous! This was a huge hit with my family. I was short an egg, so I mashed a banana up and added it instead. So good! I just bought extra peaches today so o can freeze some to make this recipe year round.
Pat
This sounds perfect for a work breakfast meeting! Thank you! How long would I need to bake if I double recipe and bake in a 9 x 13 pan? Can I use canned fruit?
Marisa Moore
The bake time might increase about 10 minutes if you double the recipe and use the larger baking pan. Check the center to ensure fineness.
And yes definitely to canned peaches but be sure to drain them. Enjoy!!
