Waking Up to a Sweet Dream
Mondays always seem to sneak up on me, don’t they? The weekends fly by in a blur, and suddenly I’m faced with the reality of a brand new work week. But you know what makes Mondays a little more bearable? The thought of indulging in a delicious, homemade breakfast that will start my day off on the right foot.
That’s why I was so excited to wake up this morning – because I knew exactly what was waiting for me in the kitchen: my Peach Almond Baked Oatmeal. This special creation has become a true breakfast staple in our household, and for good reason. It’s the perfect blend of sweet, nutty, and satisfying flavors that will have you jumping out of bed, eager to dig in.
As I mentioned on Two Peas & Their Pod, I had a surplus of fresh peaches that needed to be put to good use. And what better way to showcase these juicy summer gems than in a warm, comforting baked oatmeal? I knew the moment the idea popped into my head that it was a winner.
A Twist on a Classic
Now, I’ll admit, I used to be one of those kids who would reach for those instant peaches ‘n cream oatmeal packets. Don’t judge – I was young and didn’t know any better! But since then, I’ve learned that making real, homemade oatmeal is just as easy, and the results are a billion times better.
My Peach Almond Baked Oatmeal is the grown-up version of those childhood favorites. It has all the familiar flavors I loved back then, but with a sophisticated twist. The addition of crunchy almonds and a hint of almond extract takes this dish to new heights, creating a breakfast that’s truly worthy of sweet dreams.
As the team at Eating Bird Food mentioned, baked oatmeal is a real breakfast treat. It’s the perfect alternative to your standard stovetop version, with a texture that’s more akin to a muffin or quick bread. And the best part? You can make a big batch ahead of time and enjoy it all week long.

In fact, I’d venture to say that a lot of us daydream about our next meal even before our feet hit the floor. And when that meal is as delicious as my Peach Almond Baked Oatmeal, well, let’s just say I’m practically sprinting to the kitchen.
As the Recipe Runner team noted, this recipe is packed with antioxidant-rich peaches, which make it a nutritious and satisfying way to start the day. And with the added crunch of almonds and a touch of cinnamon, it’s a flavor explosion that will have you craving it long after your last bite.
