Peach Baked Oatmeal with Candied Bacon

A sweet and savory baked oatmeal recipe.
Servings: 9

Ingredients

  • 6-8 pieces bacon
  • 2 T. brown sugar

For baked oatmeal

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk I used Kirkland's Unsweetend Vanilla Almond Milk
  • cups cubed peaches fresh or frozen; no need to thaw
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 T. melted butter
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup Cinnamon Glazed Pecans optional

Instructions

Prepare the bacon

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8"x8" or 9"x9" square casserole dish
  • Line baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper
  • Lay strips of bacon in a single layer on baking sheet. It's okay if they overlap.
  • Sprinkle bacon with brown sugar and pat in a little bit. I used the back of a spoon.
  • Bake for 15 - 20 minutes - keeping a close eye on the bacon as the sugar will cause it to burn quickly.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool before chopping it into pieces for the top of the oatmeal.

For the Oatmeal

  • Combine dry indredients and set aside. (Honestly, I never do this but it sounds good.)
  • Beat the egg and add the rest of the wet ingredients, making sure the melted butter is cooled slightly before adding. Stir to combine.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients and add the chopped peaches.
  • Pour into the prepared casserole dish. Top with bacon pieces, optional glazed nuts, and dot with extra peach chunks for color.
  • Bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are just beginning to turn brown.
  • ENJOY with your favorite toppings.
