Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp milk of choice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp almond extract OR 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 medium peach, diced small (about 3/4 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a small baking dish (mine is 6 x 8 in) or loaf pan (9 x 5 in) with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the wet ingredients until well combined (egg, yogurt, milk, vanilla and almond extract if using).
  3. Stir in the oats and chia seeds (and nutmeg, if using). Fold in diced peaches. 
  4. Spread the mixture in the prepared baking dish. Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes or until the center is set. 
  5. Let the oatmeal cool in the dish for at least 10 minutes before removing and cutting. It will cut into strips for baby more cleanly once it cools completely.

Equipment

Notes

  • Store baked oatmeal in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Gluten-free: Use certified gluten0free oats.
  • Dairy-free: Use your favorite non-dairy milk and yogurt.
  • Muffins: Bake oatmeal in silicone or paper muffins liners for 18-20 minutes, or until completely set.
  • This oatmeal is not super sweet. If you're making it for older kiddos or adults, feel free to add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar or maple syrup with the wet ingredients. Or drizzle your portion with maple syrup or honey.
