Add fresh peaches and blueberries to your oats for a healthy and flavorful bowl of blueberry peach oatmeal. Loaded with fiber, healthy fat and protein this delicious bowl of oats will keep you feeling full and energized all morning.
I know oatmeal isn’t very summery, but blueberry and peaches are in season and for whatever reason I was craving a big bowl of oats the other morning.
So yeah, I was kind of sweating a little bit while eating this BUT it was totally worth it. Next time (i.e. tomorrow) I’m just going to crank the air conditioning while I eat breakfast so that doesn’t happen.
Speaking of — is it just me or is it impossible for an establishment (house, office building, store, etc.) to feel comfortable in the summer? It’s either too hot because the air conditioning isn’t running or the air conditioning is blasting and it’s so stinkin’ cold you have to wear a sweater. First world problems, I know. But it’s still hard to deal.
Okay, so back to these oats. They’re just regular rolled oats, cooked on the stove top but spruced up with some local summer goodness. Isaac hand-picked the blueberries at a local farm and we got the peaches from the farmer’s market last weekend. Hooray for local produce!
The oats are topped with a hefty sprinkle of ground flax and a spoonful of almond butter for good measure. <– Serving oats without nut butter is basically a crime.
The fresh peaches and berries add a subtle sweetness, but these oats aren’t overly sweet like most packaged oats. If you’re in the mood for something a tad sweeter, feel free add a little stevia or natural sugar to the oats or a drizzle a bit of maple syrup or honey on top.

Are you an oatmeal lover? Do you still eat oats during the summer or do you opt for cooler breakfast options? Obviously you know my answer. 😉

It is absolutely a fact that buildings cannot provide the perfect comfort level in the summer. And that oatmeal looks t-oat-ally awesome!
Sally says
I’m obsessed with oatmeal, and still eat it most mornings in the summer. It’s one of the only breakfast meals that truly tides me over until lunch. Also, not topping oatmeal with some kind of nutbutter (especially sunbutter) would be ridiculous! 😉
Brittany Mullins says
YEEESS! I love how drippy sunbutter is.
melissamorningm says
Yum, everything about this breakfast looks absolutely incredible! I love all the ingredients, the color, everything! I will definitely be making this soon!
Jen - Comfortably Chic says
I love oatmeal! This is a great recipe, I never thought about putting almond butter in my hot oatmeal even though I use it in my overnight oats. Thanks for sharing 🙂
xo, Jen

I’ve been meaning to tell you this. Next time, I vote WE go blueberry picking so I can indulge in all these blueb treats, too. 😉

Liz @ I Heart Vegetables says
I’ve been loving fresh peaches lately! I haven’t combined them with blueberries yet though!
wellandfull says
Local produce is the best!! I find that the fruits and veggies I get at the farmers’ markets are so much sweeter than their grocery store counterparts. I love the way you’ve incorporated seasonal produce into this oatmeal! 🙂

I love the blueberry and peach combination, I have been recently making it for breakfast with my millet porridge.:) I will try your recipe as well. Thanks for sharing.

Yum! I should try it with millet as well. 🙂
Anne says
Unfortunately blueberries aren’t in season where I’m at but peaches are so I will definitely be adding those to my oats in the morning tomorrow. Thanks for the tip! It both looks and sounds amazing 😀
Brittany Mullins says
It will still be just as good with the peaches! Let me know how it turns out. 🙂
allie @ Through Her Looking Glass says

Brittany Mullins says
Thanks Allie!

This looks like a great way to start the day! I’m terrible about breakfast but I know I need to get better! This looks delicious!
Brittany Mullins says
And it’s so easy! I hope you try it. 🙂

I feel like these could be adapted to an overnight oat recipe, with some tweaking. You could even cook down the blueberries and peaches with a little stevia to make it like a pie filling, which could be tasty!

Georgia says
Hi, I love your recipes and your blog is my favourite go to recipe blog! Can I just ask what you mean by 1/2 cup blueberries divided? Random query but I just got confuzzled haha
Georgia says
Hi, how many grams of blueberries would you say is in 1/2 a cup please? 🙂
Brittany Mullins says
Hi Georgia. 1/2 cup serving of blueberries is about 75 grams. And when I say divided, I just mean split the total amount because half (about 37 grams or 1/4 cup) will be cooked with the oatmeal and then the other half will be used as a topping once the oats are cooked. Let me know if this makes sense! 🙂
Lois Lindsay says
I eat Old Fashioned Oats most days, I tried this recipe this morning and loved it.
