Peaches and Cream Oatmeal! recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

I’ve been making peaches and cream oatmeal all summer long; filled with soft pecans and sweet peaches, this is a memorable breakfast. (I save a couple peaches to make this oatmeal almost every time I buy fresh peaches.) If you dare to top your oatmeal with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, this really might be the best oatmeal you’ll ever eat.

We aren’t new to the ice cream and oatmeal combinationIf you haven’t tried ice cream with your oatmeal yet, you are missing out on some serious awesomeness for your breakfast! While it sounds crazy at first, I figure that a small scoop of ice cream has to be comparable to a spoonful of sugar and a splash of milk, right? If I’m wrong, don’t tell me, okay?

The first time I made this oatmeal was over a year ago. My kids had spied the peaches on the counter and they begged me to put the fruit in their oatmeal. Even knowing that I had planned to make more jam wasn’t enough to change their minds. I’ll give them credit though; the oatmeal was a great choice. We have a well-known history with oatmeal in this house. Made in the oven, on the stove or even in the crock-pot, we definitely love our oatmeal!

Not a fan of oats? I bet one of these oatmeal recipes just might change your mind!

    I love a good bowl of oatmeal and peaches would be a delightful addition. I know I would squeal with delight if my son asked for peaches in his oatmeal-getting him to eat fruit is my food challenge with him.

    Have a great holiday weekend.

    There is no flavor in this recipe you don’t taste anything but oats…… if I wanted just oats I’d make just oats and water….

      That’s quite odd that you found it lacking in flavor. It is oatmeal, so there should be plenty of oat flavor. However, with peaches, nuts, a splash of cream, and whichever toppings you like best, it should’ve been full of flavor. The only thing I can think of would be if you used peaches that were lacking in flavor. We love this oatmeal and make it many times a year whenever peaches are in season.

    As a kid, mom would make oatmeal and it was like paste. Couldn’t stand it. When we had it at a restaurant, it was delicious. So tried several ways of cooking it. Finally came up with boiling the water, adding the oatmeal and turning off the heat and letting the oatmeal set covered, till it had absorbed all the water. It is just like the restaurant’s. Have added raisins, cinnamon, pecans, cranberries, blueberries, to the boiling water. For fresh fruits and berries, they are added after the oatmeal is done. Have not done the ice cream, but plan on doing that soon. Thanks for the ideas.5 stars

    So yummy! We really enoyed this oatmeal even my 7 and 5 year old who have turned their nose up at any oatmeal that didn’t have chocolate chips in them for while now ha. I am adding this to our rotation especially in the summer when I buy from The Peach Truck! =] Def a 5 star rating!5 stars
