Peaches and Cream Oatmeal

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 of peaches to make this oatmeal almost every time I buy fresh peaches.

And if you dare to top your oatmeal with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this really might be the best oatmeal you’ll ever eat. We aren’t new to the ice cream and oatmeal combination over here. 

If you haven’t tried ice cream with your oatmeal yet, you are missing out on some serious awesomeness for your breakfast! While it may sound a little 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, just don’t tell me.

Peach oatmeal is pretty amazing on its own though, so feel free to skip the ice cream and eat it plain. Or top it with a pat of butter and a sprinkling of brown sugar.

Like the blueberries and cream oatmeal I’ve raved about in the past, this oatmeal is pretty awesome with a drizzle of cream as well.

Peaches and Cream Oatmeal

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.

With sweet peaches in every bite of this easy stovetop oatmeal, I absolutely love it. I’m not kidding when I say that I make this just about every time there are peaches in our home.

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 oatmeal.

Peaches and Cream Oatmeal Recipe

Kitchen Tip: I use this saucepan to make this oatmeal.

You’ll need the following ingredients for this recipe:

  • old-fashioned rolled oats
  • pecans
  • peaches
  • kosher salt
  • cinnamon
  • water

Yes, you can make this oatmeal with milk instead of water. Personally, I’m not the biggest fan of oatmeal that is made with milk, so I rarely do that. I prefer to top ours with milk or cream after it is cooking. If oatmeal cooked in milk happens to be your preference though? Go for it.

Oatmeal Toppings

  • milk, half and half, or cream
  • whipped cream

Oatmeal Peaches and Cream

To make the oatmeal, combine the oats, peaches, pecans, salt, and cinnamon in a medium-sized saucepan. Add the water and stir to combine.

Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring often.

When the oats are tender, remove from the heat. Portion into serving bowls and add the toppings of your choice.

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

Baked oatmeal, loaded with summer berries and lightly sweetened with brown sugar is a great way to start the day. Topped with whipped cream, it’s a treat!

Holiday Oatmeal is filled with fresh apples, dried fruits, nuts, creamy oats, and brown sugar to create a deliciously filling hot breakfast. This is my youngest son’s favorite oatmeal and he requests it all year long.

Filled with creamy oats, sweet bananas, and berries, a hint of brown sugar, and spices, this Slow Cooker Oatmeal is a breakfast that my whole family enjoys. Best of all, this slow cooker oatmeal can be made in just one hour.
