The creamiest and yummiest peaches and cream oatmeal starts with farm fresh peaches and is combined with oats, milk, cream, and a little sweetener. It is a delicious way to start the day.

Ingredients

2 cups milk
2 cups water
2 cup oats
3 peaches chopped
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup cream

Instructions

Optional: For optimal digestion, soak the night before. Omit the milk and add 3.5 cups water, 2 cups oats and 1/2 cup yogurt. Allow to sit at room temperature for 8-12 hours.
If not soaking, just mix water, milk, and oats together in a large pot.
Add in peeled and chopped peaches, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon to the pot of oatmeal. Stir well.
Place pot over low heat, and cook oatmeal uncovered for 5 minutes for old fashioned, 2 minutes for instant and 25-30 minutes for steel cut. Cook until soft
Stir every so often.
Once the time is up, the oatmeal with peaches should be nice and soft. Serve.

Notes

Soak your oats for 12 hours to activate phytase, which breaks down phytic acid. Phytic acid is the anti-nutrient responsible for reducing the bioavailability of nutrients in the grain.
For soaking the oats, you can use yogurt, milk kefir, or an acid like lemon or apple cider vinegar. I like using the first three options best, since they add a more subtle flavor. ACV can be quite strong.
Don’t cook the oatmeal at too high of a heat or it will burn at the bottom.
Want to make a super creamy, custard-like oatmeal? Add in a few eggs. Add them one at a time, stirring quickly as soon as they are added. This blends them in so there are no chunks of cooked eggs (this is great for kids who don’t like eggs).
