Peach and Honey Baked Oatmeal

In an attempt to stop procrastinating and start 2012 fresh (both in blog world, and in the real world), I have decided to just skip writing posts about all of the dishes I made the last several months, and instead just post some year-end roundup photos.... One exception to this fast-track blogging has to be the peach baked oatmeal that I made this fall with the last round of fresh peaches available at the store.

I am fairly obsessed with baked oatmeal. Since discovering it about a year ago, I have made it at least twice a month. My best varieties always include fresh fruit and this peach version was just to die for. It was so good that I'm tempted to see if canned or frozen peaches could even come close to emulating the amazing flavor of summer in this bowl.

Peach Baked Oatmeal: 

- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup (I use 1% milk)
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 peach, diced
- sweetener of choice (I used about 1.5 TBSP of honey)
- butter for pan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter pan-- I use a mini pie dish, but two smaller ramekins could also work. Whisk together egg and milk and combine with oatmeal. Sprinkle in nutmeg, peaches, and drizzle sweetener over the top. Bake for for 20-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the insides are ooey gooey. Serves 2 (but really 1, because I eat the whole thing every time).
