Sweet, buttery, and deliciously filling, this peach breakfast bake is a healthy breakfast recipe that tastes like homemade peach crumble!
Someday, I am going to be a very good grandma.
By the time I’m old, I will have had lots of practice. I often sit down for dinner at 5, constantly nag people to eat more vegetables, and living in Florida sounds like a dream!
But every now and then, I like to stay out late. Unfortunately, my body doesn’t care if I’m up at 2am; it’ll still be wide-eyed and ready to go by 6 the next morning! For example, on Friday night I went out dancing and had two friends spend the night afterward. I woke up at 5:30 yesterday morning, while they proceeded to sleep until noon.
That’s okay; I actually enjoy my time alone in the mornings. It’s peaceful when no one else is awake. Yesterday, when I got back from running and found my friends still asleep, I figured I’d surprise them with breakfast. Little did I know I’d be eating lunch by the time they got up…
What to make?
First, I thought about baking a Chocolate Banana Bread.
But my friends aren’t the biggest banana fans. So I decided to try something new on them. A few months ago, I’d pulled a recipe for apple crisp out of People magazine. It caught my eye due to its simplicity. I very loosely used this apple-crisp recipe as a guide for yesterday’s breakfast: peach breakfast bake. My friends loved it… when they finally woke up!
Peach Breakfast Bake
Ingredients
- 5 cups sliced peaches
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups crushed cereal of choice (I used shredded wheat)
- 1/2 cup sweetener of choice, or 1/4 tsp uncut stevia
- 4 tbsp melted butter, coconut oil, or applesauce or banana for low fat
- 1/2 tsp salt (decrease to 1/4 tsp if using salted butter spread)
- optional yogurt or nondairy creamer for serving
InstructionsÂ
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. If desired, peel the peaches. Mix them with the lemon, arrowroot, cinnamon, half of the salt, and half of the sweetener. Let sit for ten minutes. Meanwhile, stir the crushed cereal, remaining sweetener and salt, and melted butter or oil in a separate bowl until well-blended. Spread the peach mixture in an 8-inch baking pan. Top with the cereal mixture. Bake for 45 minutes. To serve, I like to mix each portion with yogurt or nondairy creamer.View Nutrition Facts

Looks wonderful – can’t wait to try it.
This looks delicious, but the ingredient for 1 container of yogurt, do you mean 1 single serve yogurt, or a large container… how many oz? Thanks!
It is for one single serve container. Try a 6oz.
This looks absolutely amazing! Wonder if this recipe would work just as well with apple slices? I have some apples and all the other ingredients in my kitchen, but no peaches.
Great recipe – saw it this morning and made it straight away for my breakfast – Yummo! I used Weetabix as that’s what was in cupboard and it worked great – lovely crunchy topping! I used a mixture of peaches and nectarines. Will def make again prob with less or no sugar.
I’d love to be a grandma as a career or something!
As for this recipe, I made it today for my mother and she loved it! Thanks you!
(I left the sugar out, and added some blueberries, which have a very good result!)
this is sooo awesome it became one of my regular breakfasts. its like eating fruit cake!
i usually do it without oil and some stevia instead of sugar.also i use spelt flakes to top it up with.
thanks so much for this genius recipe :*
I’ve made this many times and love it! Peaches are on right now so I’m excited to make it again soon.
I have a question. Will it keep ok if I cook it the night before and store it in the fridge until morning? I am a morning person, but choose to use that time to go running instead of sitting in the kitchen waiting for breakfast to cook. And my kids have to be to school pretty early so it would be nice to have this ready to just warm up for them. Do you think it will work? Or get mushy with brown peaches?
I’ve done it. Works fine!
I’m the same way; my body simply won’t let me sleep in! It’s funny, back in college I would regularly go to bed at 4 a.m. and wake up at noon, but nowadays I’m always in bed by 11 or 12 because I know otherwise I’ll be exhausted the next day. I do enjoy my mornings though! This looks like a delicious way to spend a lazy Sunday morning too.
Just wondering the amount of yogurt for this Peach Breakfast Bake…8 oz.? I purchase my plain Greek yogurt by the quart, so it would help to indicate what size the container is.
Use a 6 oz container.
Delicious! I made this for breakfast and my husband and I loved it! Trader Joe’s didn’t have peaches so I used mangos. Also, I used quick cooking steel cut oats and they were perfectly crunchy on top. I used real butter and had it with honey greek yogurt. Delish! Thanks for the great recipe!
