Optional toppings, such as: pure maple syrup, a dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt, a splash of milk, chia seeds, or chopped nuts (like pecans, walnuts, or sliced almonds), additional peach pieces and/or fresh fruit.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8x8 (or 9x9) baking dish and set aside.
Add the wet ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
¼ Cup salted butter, melted and cooled slightly, ½ Cup brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 + ¾ Cups milk of choice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, starting with the baking powder and spices. Then stir in the oats.
1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon salt, 3 Cups old fashioned oats
Gently stir in the peach pieces to the oatmeal mixture.
3 Cups chopped, fresh peaches
Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon-sugar topping ingredients. Then sprinkle over the oat mixture in the pan.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until the center appears to be almost set and the edges are golden brown.
Let the baked peach oatmeal cool for 5 minutes before serving. Then, spoon or slice the oatmeal and serve it with your favorite toppings.

Notes
Recipe Variation:
Give it a "peaches and cream" twist by adding a cream cheese glaze. More detailed noted in the blog post above the recipe card.
Storage and Reheating
To Store: Let the peach baked oatmeal cool to room temperature, then wrap leftovers tightly with plastic wrap or transfer them to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To Reheat: The microwave is the quickest and easiest way to reheat baked oats. Adding a splash of milk helps give the reheated oatmeal the best texture. Heat in short intervals until your desired temperature is reached.
To Freeze: Cut leftover, fully cooled baked oats into individual portions, wrap them tightly in plastic, then place into a freezer-safe plastic bag. Freeze for up to 3 months and let thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
