The Magic of Peaches and Cream

The combination of peaches and cream is really a match made in heaven, isn’t it? The sweet, juicy chunks of fresh peaches in this oatmeal blend seamlessly with the rich, creamy Greek yogurt, creating a comforting bowl of goodness.

The subtle hint of vanilla and the touch of brown sugar enhance the natural sweetness of the peaches, while the hearty oats provide a chunky and chewy base. It’s thick, and indulgent, but also nourishing and very filling. It’ll keep you goin’ all morning long.

Let’s Talk Ingredients

• Rolled oats: I like to use rolled oats because they’re so chewy and hearty. You could also use steel cut oats or even quick-cooking oats if you’re pressed for time (remember to adjust the cooking time down though).
• Milk: I usually use 2% milk or almond milk for a nutty vibe, but you can use whatever milk you love.
• Water: Using half water and half milk helps the oatmeal be less sticky, but you can substitute 2 cups of milk if you’d rather.
• Brown sugar: Adds a good amount of sweetness, but not too much.
• Vanilla extract: Adds just a hint of vanilla flavor.
• Cinnamon: Adds warmth and a touch of spice to complement the peaches.
• Sea salt: This enhances the flavors—it makes a big different, don’t skip it.
• Plain Greek yogurt: This makes the oatmeal extra creamy as well as adding a nice dose of protein.
• Peach (fresh, chopped into chunks): Brings that juicy, fruity goodness (obvi—wink).

Now, Let’s Cook It Up

1. Combine the Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix the oats, milk, water, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt together. And give it a good stir.
2. Cook the Oatmeal: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for 10 ish minutes. You’ll want to keep an eye on it, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom or to prevent it from boiling over. Cook until the oats are tender and the oatmeal has thickened. If you like your oatmeal thicker, cook it a bit longer to remove more moisture.

1. Add the Creamy Goodness: Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove it from the heat. Stir in the Greek yogurt and the chopped peaches. Mix until everything is well combined.

1. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the oatmeal into two bowls and top with more peaches, a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans for some crunch, a splash of milk or cream, and a dash or two more of cinnamon.

A Few Tips and Tricks

• Adjusting Sweetness: If you like your oatmeal sweeter, feel free to add a bit more brown sugar. Or, you can drizzle some honey or maple syrup on top to add more sweetness and flavor—both are really good options.
• Make It Your Own: You can swap out the peaches for other fruits like berries, apples, or even bananas. The Greek yogurt can be replaced with any kind of yogurt, maybe vanilla or vanilla and honey? Mmm.
• Storing Leftovers: If you happen to have any leftovers (which is rare in my house, haha), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. When you’re ready to reheat it, add a splash of milk or water and give it a good stir to restore that creamy texture.

While it’s not quite cozy season yet, it is in fact, peach season, and there’s just something so satisfying about making a homemade breakfast (any time of year). And starting your day with a warm bowl of peaches and cream oatmeal really gets things going right. Your mornings are about to get a whole lot cozier, happy eating my friend.

***You can use 2 cups of milk instead of 1 cup milk and 1 cup water if you prefer. Using all milk will yield a thicker and stickier oatmeal.
