Peach Oatmeal

"I have created one delicious oatmeal! It sort of reminds me of the Quaker peaches and cream oatmeal. I still prefer this oatmeal however, which is healthier, to packaged any day."

ingredients

  • 14 cup old fashioned oats or 1/4 cup quick oats
  • 13 cup water
  • 14 cup sliced peaches in juice, canned (this works out to about 5 slices of peach and about 1/8 cup of juice)
  • 18 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 18 teaspoon butterscotch extract or 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional) or 1/2 teaspoon honey (optional)

directions

  • Cut up peach slices into small pieces.
  • In a bowl add oats, water, and peaches with juice.
  • Microwave in 500watt microwave for 2 minutes, stir, microwave for another 2 minutes, stir, then microwave in 1 minute intervals until cooked. In a 1200watt microwave, microwave for 30 seconds, stir, microwave for another 30 seconds, stir, and then continue microwaving in 30 second intervals until cooked.
  • Once cooked, add cinnamon, butterscotch extract, and sweetener.
  • NOTE: This serving seems small since it is only 1/4 cup of oats, but with the addition of peaches, it is quite filling, especially when served with a glass of milk; Feel free however, to increase one serving size to double this amount for a very hearty breakfast.

  1. My dad eats oatmeal every morning for breakfast. He has to watch the sugar. I was making instant for him but there just wasn't much variety. I decided to start making it myself. I made this one for him this a.m. I followed the directions on the oat box for cooking only I used the peach juice for some of the liquid. I also used pumpkin pie spice instead of the cinnomon. He loved it. I am not an oatmeal fan but I thought it was pretty tasty also. Very easy to make. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  2. This was a wonderful way to use up my fresh left over peaches from canning! I used the stovetop instead of microwave. Thank you.
     
  3. Delicious
     
  4. This was SO GOOD! For preference I used milk instead of water. Also used a fresh peach and coated the pieces in sugar and let them sit for a minute before adding them in. Used the honey and probably added a little bit more than called for :) Can't wait to make for the kids!
     
  5. Can I let you in on a little secret? Just between you and I? Oh good, I knew I could trust you. Okay, well I cheated. I added chia seeds, mixed and refrigerated overnight. Healthy, wholesome food and I eat it gratefully.

  1. I made this with oat bran instead of oatmeal. Very tasty and simple! Thanks!
     
  2. I made this recipe for I Recommend Tag, and I'm glad I did. I used milk instead of water, and diced my peaches up. I thought it was very good.
     
  3. I was out of old fashioned oats this morning so I used quick oats. They were cooked after the first 2 minutes in the microwave. I used vanilla extract and I cooked the oats in skim milk instead of water (I don't drink milk and try to find other ways to get it into my diet). I finally garnished it with 3 additional peach slices. End result = Loved it Made for ZWT4
     
  4. Yum! I used fresh nectarines, so added a couple tablespoons to the liquid. I also subbed almond extract and brown sugar, omitted the cinnamon, and topped it with some pistachios. Based on other reviews, I cooked this probably one and a half minutes for quick oats. What a great combo!
     
  5. The kids liked this, I used cream of wheat instead of oatmeal and peach extract- since I couldn't find butterscotch extract at the store. I still like mine with bananas. Thanks for a healthy alternative to the packaged cereal.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi! Thanks for visiting my page! I just graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutritional Sciences in May 2008 after 5 years of hard work. My hard work paid off as I was accepted to a post graduate dietetic internship which I am currently completing and will be done in June. The internship allows me achieve professional designation as a registered dietitian. This is a very exciting but also a very busy time for me so I have not been contributing to zaar nearly as much as i'd like to. I have always loved baking and cooking and looking for healthier recipes or ways to make recipes healthier to fit into my lifestyle. I am pesco-vegetarian as I do not want animals to suffer for my consumption. I also love to be active in individual sports and train year round for triathlon. I am both an active racer and volunteer. The distance I prefer most is the Sprint distance - 750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run. This upcoming race season marks my 16th year of participating in triathlon. I love it just as much, if not more, than I did 16 years ago!! I also have a newfound love for Iyengar yoga. I have a profound love for animals and the pretty little kitty you see as my icon is my 16 1/2 year old cat Snuggles. Sadly, Snug passed away in March 2006, and is dearly, dearly missed.
