- 1 tablespoon melted butter or vegan butter
- 1 egg (or liquid plant egg)
- Cooking spray

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the oats, chopped pecans, brown sugar (or maple syrup), cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk (or non-dairy milk), melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
- Arrange the thinly sliced peaches evenly over the oatmeal mixture.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, and the oatmeal is set and bubbly.
- Serve warm, topped with extra peaches, pecans, and a drizzle of maple syrup or brown sugar if desired.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based butter and a flax egg instead of regular butter and egg.
- Frozen or canned peaches can also be used, but make sure to drain canned peaches thoroughly.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions for a quick breakfast.
- This recipe can be made ahead of time and baked in the morning for a hassle-free breakfast.
