Brown Butter Peach Baked Oatmeal is a cozy and flavorful breakfast dish made with rich browned butter, sweet peaches, and wholesome oats, baked to golden perfection with a soft, custardy center.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, mix oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, brown sugar (or maple syrup), and browned butter.
  5. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
  6. Fold in most of the peach slices, reserving some for topping.
  7. Pour mixture into the prepared dish. Top with reserved peaches and sprinkle with nuts if using.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden and set in the center.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Drizzle with maple syrup or top with yogurt if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe peaches for best flavor, but frozen or well-drained canned peaches work too.
  • Brown the butter carefully—watch for golden color and nutty aroma.
  • Make ahead by assembling the night before and baking in the morning.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat with a splash of milk for added moisture.
