Peaches & Cream Oatmeal
I am an oatmeal lover through and through and I enjoy it in each and every form. I love stovetop, overnight, baked, quick cooked, steel cut oats … the list goes on and on! And although I typically enjoy overnight oats in the warmer months, I am officially declaring this Peaches & Cream Oatmeal Recipe the oatmeal of the summer. Made with fresh juicy peaches, flavorful cinnamon, old fashioned oats, and a touch of dairy free cream … this recipe is oatmeal perfection and a great way to cook with fresh summer fruit. This easy peach oatmeal is a hearty and healthy breakfast option that will have you saying goodbye to those artificial flavors and instant oatmeal packets right away!

Ingredients in Peaches & Cream Oatmeal…
Peach oatmeal calls for a few wholesome ingredients and not too much sugar, like those instant oats packets! I’m talking fresh peaches, old fashioned oats, cinnamon, and a dash of cream. Dairy-free milk and creamer is also used here, which makes this healthy oatmeal recipe vegan! It’s also naturally sweetened, refined sugar free, and full of whole grains. What is not to love?
- Oats: Old fashioned oats are used for this healthy peach oatmeal. You will need 1 cup! Quick oats or rolled oats should also work.
- Almond Milk: I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk in this recipe, but you can really use any milk you have on hand, like regular dairy milk or oat milk. Add 1 cup.
- Dairy Free Creamer: For the cream in this peaches and cream oatmeal, dairy free creamer is used. This makes this oatmeal dairy free and vegan, but if you’re not into that you can totally use regular heavy cream! Coconut milk is also a great option to add extra creaminess here. 2 tbsp is all you need.
- Pure Maple Syrup: Pure maple syrup is used here to add the perfect touch of natural sweetness. Add 2 tbsp!
- Peaches: Fresh, ripe peaches are the true star of the show in this oatmeal recipe! You will need 1/2 cup of chopped peaches, so about 1 peach.
- Vanilla Extract, Cinnamon, & Salt: For all things delicious flavor add 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to this peach oatmeal.

Can I prepare this Peach Oatmeal ahead of time?
Yes, you can definitely prepare this oatmeal ahead of time! This recipe makes two servings, which means it is perfect for two or as multiple meals for one.

Peaches & Cream Oatmeal FAQs…
Can I used canned peaches in this oatmeal?
I haven’t tested it, but I think you can definitely use canned peaches in this recipe. That is a great idea especially if it is not peach season! However if you are using canned peaches, since they are already a little soft you may want to add them to the oatmeal after the oats have already been cooked. This way they won’t get too mushy!
If you use canned peaches let me know how it goes!
Can I swap in a different fruit for peaches here?
You can totally swap in a different fruit for the peaches here. It would of course not be peaches and cream oatmeal anymore, but it would still be delicious! I think berries, banana, and apple would all be great choices. Strawberries would be extra fun because then you’d have strawberries and cream oatmeal. Which is another great flavor!
What kind of oats should I use in this healthy recipe?
I used old fashioned oats in this recipe. However, I’m sure other types of oats like quick cook, rolled, or even steel cut would work as well. You may just have to alter the cooking time a bit!

Omg sooo good! I ended up using frozen peaches, and added 2 tbsp of flax seeds for some extra benefits. It was a little sweet for my liking, so next time I might omit or half the maple syrup and double the peaches. But I will absolutely be adding this recipe to my oatmeal rotation. Thanks Kayla!

This was delicious! My 3 daughters and I loved it. I added some hemp & chia seeds then topped each bowl with a dollop of whipped coconut cream. It felt like a decadent weekend treat.
Thanks Jessi! So glad you and your family enjoyed 🙂
