Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (180g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) maple syrup
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (90g) chopped pecans, toasted
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (43g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Overnight Mixture (10 minutes): In a large bowl, whisk together rolled oats, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine heavy cream, milk, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet mixture over the oats and stir gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  2. Preheat the Oven (5 minutes): The next morning, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. Layer the Peaches (5 minutes): Peel and slice peaches. Gently fold half the peaches into the soaked oat mixture, then pour everything into the prepared baking dish. Arrange the remaining peach slices on top, nestling them slightly into the oats.
  4. Make the Pecan Crumble (10 minutes): In a small bowl, mix chopped pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, flour, and nutmeg until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the oats and peaches.
  5. Bake (40-45 minutes): Place the baking dish in the oven and bake until the crumble is golden and the oatmeal is set but still creamy, about 40 to 45 minutes. Tent with foil halfway through baking if topping browns too quickly.
  6. Cool Slightly and Serve: Let the baked oatmeal cool for 5-10 minutes to thicken before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Soak oats overnight for best texture. Use ripe but not overly juicy peaches to avoid watery oatmeal. Toast pecans before adding to crumble for extra flavor. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. For vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream, milk with almond or oat milk, and egg with flax egg. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats and almond flour in crumble.
