Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 ripe peaches (diced)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 can coconut cream (chilled)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with coconut oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, ground ginger, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to ensure spices are evenly distributed throughout the oats.
- Dice the ripe peaches into small, uniform cubes, removing the pit and skin. Gently fold the peach pieces into the oat mixture.
- Pour the almond milk and maple syrup into the oat and peach mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the oats are completely moistened.
- Transfer the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform cooking.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oats have absorbed most of the liquid.
- While the oatmeal bake is cooking, prepare the whipped coconut cream. Remove the chilled can of coconut cream and scoop out the solid cream from the top, leaving the liquid behind.
- Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the coconut cream with powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the oatmeal bake is done, remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes to set.
- Serve warm, topped with a generous dollop of whipped coconut cream and additional diced peaches if desired.
Tips
- Choose ripe, seasonal peaches for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- Chill your coconut cream overnight for the fluffiest whipped topping possible.
- Use rolled oats, not instant, to maintain the perfect texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - gently fold ingredients to keep the oats from becoming dense.
- For extra richness, toast the oats lightly in a dry pan before mixing for a deeper, nuttier flavor.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the maple syrup or use a sugar-free alternative.
- The oatmeal bake can be prepared the night before and refrigerated, then baked in the morning for a quick breakfast.
