The active time here is minimal, so it can be a quick breakfast if you have time to let it bake, OR it can be made ahead and enjoyed all week!
I use the Swerve brand alternative brown sugar because it can be substituted 1:1 for sugar in any recipe and provides a similar structure to the recipe with no glycemic effect. This brand in particular does not have an aftertaste of sugar alcohol, which is common in other sweeteners.
Yield: 8 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 40 minutes Assembly Time: 0 minutes
INGREDIENTS
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar alternative, such as Swerve brand 95g
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
11/4 cup low-fat milk
3 large eggs
1 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla
15-ounce can of peaches in fruit juice, drained
1/2 cup blueberries
1/3 cup pecan or walnut pieces
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Prepare a 7"x11" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine oats, brown sugar, chia seeds, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (optional) in a large mixing bowl.
Combine milk, eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla in a separate bowl.
Add wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
Let it sit for 5 minutes while the oatmeal starts soaking up the liquid. Then, gently mix in peaches and blueberries until evenly distributed. Transfer to the baking dish and top with pecan or walnut pieces.
Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, or until the oatmeal bake is set when you wiggle the pan.
Serve warm, and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave when ready to serve.
Tips: Cinnamon gives this dish a spiced flavor, which is objectively nice! I prefer it without, but that may be an unpopular opinion.
If you want it to be a bit sweeter, add 2-4 tablespoons of sugar-free maple syrup - but it doesn’t need it!
Easy Swaps: Fresh peaches instead of canned ones are great while they’re in season. Pomegranate seeds are a fun swap for a red, white, and blue theme. If you don’t have a 7" x 11" baking dish, a 9" x 9" dish will work.
