Peach Baked Oatmeal
Oats, chopped pecans, brown sugar or maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg are mixed with a wet mixture of milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla. The batter is poured into an 8×8-inch baking dish, topped with sliced peaches, and baked at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and set. It's a cozy, make-ahead breakfast that's served warm, with easy swaps for vegan, nut-free, and lower-sugar versions.
