Baked Oatmeal with Ontario Peaches

Baked Oatmeal with Ontario Peaches - Niyama Wellness

As the summer starts to wind down, i'm still looking for ways to eat more juicy peaches!  Over the long weekend, it occurred to me that my favourite peach crisp dessert could easily be transformed into Peach Baked Oatmeal, with a little vanilla plant protein thrown in to make it extra nutritious.  

The results were even better than i expected,  this tastes like dessert but is actually a perfect breakfast, with juicy Ontario peaches, slow-burn carbs in the form of gf oats, extra fat and fibre from flax seeds and hemp hearts, and a scoop of vanilla plant protein to add an extra bit of protein.  Delicious for breakfast with some coconut or greek yogurt, as dessert with a scoop of nice (or regular ice) cream - and it's just as good cold as it is warmed up.

Make this before the peaches are gone!

Baked Oatmeal with Ontario Peaches

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free if you are)
  • 2 TBSP ground flax seeds mixed with 6 TBSP water (2 flax eggs)
  • 1-2 scoops Niyama Vanilla Plant Protein
  • 2 TBSP hemp hearts
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (Ceylon if available)
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened plant milk of your choice (i used Oat)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 3 peaches (1 thinly sliced and 2 chopped roughly)
  • 1 TBSP coconut sugar for the top (optional)

Directions

  1. Make the flax eggs -  in a small bowl combine 2 TBSP of ground flax with 6 TBSP water, mix well and refrigerate for 10 minutes

  2. In a large bowl with a wooden spoon combine the oats, hemp hearts, baking powder, spices and salt.  Mix well then add the plant milk and the maple syrup and combine

  3. Add in the flax egg and the chopped peaches only, and mix togehter

  4. Oil or spray a glass baking dish (9 x 9 or rectangle) and pour the oat mixture into the dish. 

  5. Place the sliced peaches on the top of the oat mixture, and if you are using the coconut sugar sprinkle it over the top.

  6. Bake for 45- 55 minutes, depending on how dry you like it. 45 minutes will yield a softer, moister baked oatmeal and 55 minutes will make one that is dryer and a bit more cakey.  I prefer the former but wonuld not turn down either!
