Peach Blackberry Baked Oatmeal
Peaches + Blackberries + Warming Ginger and Cinnamon spices yield a perfectly tart yet comforting baked oatmeal dish.
Background
If you’ve been following along on instagram you know I signed up for a summer of peaches. You also know that I’m a sucker for whatever is fresh and local at the farmers market. What you may not know is we love love love baked oatmeal at our house, its the perfect make ahead breakfast and super easy for a toddler to eat. So all that combined with the fact that I recently picked up a copy of The Flavor Bible by Andrew Dornenburg and Karen A. Paige meant it was time for me to experiment with making my own baked oatmeal recipe.
I consulted The Flavor Bible and learned that peaches, blackberries, cinnamon, ginger, lemon, vanilla and honey all go well together so that would be the main flavors in my dish.
Then after scouring dozens of baked oatmeal recipes I came to find some common ground in all of them. Although ingredients varied the basic ratio for the baked oatmeal remained about the same. So I used that as my base for coming up with this recipe.
