Peach Baked Oatmeal

I have been on a peach kick lately, haven't I? I guess there isn't another fruit that so perfectly captures the feeling of a warm summer day. This morning, because it's a Saturday, and because I have some extra ripe peaches, I decided to make myself a decadent but hearty treat. Baked Oatmeal! I did a twist on my original recipe.

• 1/2 cup quick cooking Irish oats (b/c that's what i have)
• 1/2 cup plus 1 TBSP milk (I have 1% organic)
• 1 egg (organic, free range b/c that's how I roll)
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp Almond extract
• 1 TBSP peach syrup (my sisters live in Georgia and gave me this as part of a gift last year, any sweetener would be good). 
• 1 peach, diced (peels on b/c I'm lazy and don't mind the texture)
• honey to drizzle on top

Preheat oven to 350 and grease a baking dish-- a large ramekin would work, I have mini-pie pans that I love. Mix ingredients in a bowl until combined and put in pan. Drizzle with honey and put in the oven for 30 minutes.

What results is a dish of oatmeal that is golden brown on the outside, and gooey and creamy on the inside. It is sweet, but not too sweet, it is warm and soothing, and is jam packed full of healthy things like fiber and protein. My perfect breakfast!
