A delicious and comforting breakfast featuring caramelized peach slices atop creamy cinnamon-spiced oatmeal, enhanced with a touch of maple syrup and vanilla bean paste, finished with crunchy granola and nutritious hemp seeds. This easy-to-make dish combines fresh fruit sweetness with hearty oats for a satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Peach Topping

  • ½ peach (5-6 slices)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla bean paste
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon

Oatmeal

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup water
  • 2-3 tbsp milk of choice
  • pinch salt
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon

Toppings

  • Granola (to taste)
  • Hemp seeds (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat pan and melt butter: Place a cast iron or nonstick pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt completely to prepare for caramelizing the peaches.
  2. Cook peach slices: Add the 5-6 peach slices to the melted butter. Cook them for 1-2 minutes to start softening and warming the fruit.
  3. Add flavorings and caramelize: Pour in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, ½ teaspoon of vanilla bean paste, and half of the cinnamon (approximately ¼ teaspoon). Use a spoon to coat the peach slices thoroughly, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the peaches become glossy and caramelized.
  4. Prepare oatmeal base: In a small pot, combine ½ cup rolled oats, 1 cup water, the remaining ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  5. Simmer and thicken oatmeal: Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking until the water is almost fully absorbed. Then add 2-3 tablespoons of your preferred milk and stir continuously until the oatmeal thickens to your desired consistency.
  6. Assemble the bowl: Transfer the creamy oatmeal to a serving bowl. Top with the caramelized peach slices, a sprinkle of granola for crunch, and a dusting of hemp seeds for added texture and nutrition.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey if preferred.
  • Choose any milk you like: dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk all work well.
  • Ensure the pan is not too hot during caramelizing to prevent burning the peaches.
  • Use fresh ripe peaches for best flavor, but frozen thawed peaches can be used in a pinch.
  • Adjust cinnamon to taste depending on your preference for spice level.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt to balance sweetness if desired.
  • For vegan option, use plant-based butter or coconut oil instead of butter.
