Peach cobbler for breakfast
If you don’t like peach cobbler, I won’t judge you but I will definitely pray for you. It is a sweet, humble and hearty treat that the South presents best to the rest of the world. We should all be grateful (praying hands emoji). When I have a craving for peach cobbler in the morning (because that happens sometimes), I resort to a healthier and more appropriate version. Hence, my Peach Cobbler Oatmeal recipe. Sweet, cinnamony, buttery, and of course, peachy, I am able to satisfy my craving without the guilt.
Use fresh or canned peaches
Many peach cobbler recipes use canned peaches. However, I wanted to use fresh peaches for this peach cobbler oatmeal recipe. If fresh peaches are not currently in season or easily accessible to you, by all means, use canned peaches. If you use fresh ones, check how sweet they are before adding the suggested amount of maple syrup (or brown sugar, if preferred). Do not skip this step if you are not a huge fan of overly sweet breakfast foods.
Healthier cobbler substitutes
As you may have already figured out, the “cobbler” in this recipe is the oatmeal. It absorbs the fruity syrupy goodness from the stewed peaches giving this bowl of oats a nostalgic and comforting appeal. As a Southern girl who has enjoyed many a peach cobbler in my day, I’ve always had it with a pie crust. The “crust” in this recipe is replaced with sliced almonds. Additionally, a drizzle of half and half (or heavy cream if you dare) mimics a dollop of ice cream normally accompanying any good cobbler.
Enjoy these Royal Oats when you have a little extra time to pamper your tastebuds and take a mental trip to the South. Good eats, y’all!
