5 Days No Repeat Oatmeal: Peach Cobbler Oats

Written by on in Recipes

It’s day 3 of no repeat oatmeal week! Peach cobbler was one of my favorite desserts as a kid. So of course I had to make a breakfast out of it! If you cook your steel cut oats from scratch on the stovetop and add peaches they get really soft and sweet like cobbler.

But for this recipe we are going for convenience so you’ll just scoop out some of your batch cooked oats and microwave with peaches and your toppings of choice for a quick, tasty breakfast!

Feel like your eating peach cobbler for breakfast with just minutes of prep in the morning!

Ingredients

  • 1 portion cooked steel cut oats (approximately 1 ½ servings per package directions)

  • ⅔ cup frozen peaches, slightly defrosted and chopped

  • 1 medjool date, chopped

  • ½ teaspoon my oatmeal pie spice blend

  • Splash pure vanilla extract

  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds

  • Optional: 1 tablespoon any nut butter (I like almond or pecan butter for this recipe)

  • Optional: Splash to ¼ cup water or plant milk (depending on how thick you like your oats)

  • Optional: 1 teaspoon chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

  • Scoop out a portion of your already prepped steel cut oats into a large, microwave-safe bowl. It will be pretty firm after being refrigerated, so smash it down or break it up a little with your spoon.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl. Microwave for about 1-2 minutes, depending on your microwave. 2 minutes is just right in mine.
  • Stir everything up and enjoy!

Notes

  • All amounts here are approximate. You can adjust everything to suit your own tastes. I never strictly measure, I just eyeball everything each day. There is no right or wrong way to do it!
  • This is sweet enough for me with the chopped dates, but if you need to, feel free to add a little maple syrup or agave nectar for more sweetness.
  • If you’re watching fat intake, omit the nut butter and the nuts. It will be just as tasty!
  • If you do not batch cook the oats, you can also simply throw all the ingredients in a pot on the stovetop and cook per package directions with your dry steel cut oats. It will make your daily breakfast prep take a little longer, but doing this will make the peaches softer and even more cobbler-like. Yum!
