This blueberry peach oatmeal is so easy to make and loaded with fiber. It’s a delicious bowl of oats that will keep you feeling full and energized all morning.
I know oatmeal isn’t super summery (unless we’re talking overnight oats), but peaches are in season and for whatever reason I was craving a big bowl of oats the other morning so I decided to create this tasty peach oatmeal with blueberries!
It’s just rolled oats, cooked on the stove top but spruced up with some local summer goodness. We bought the peaches from the farmer’s market last weekend and Isaac hand-picked the blueberries at a local farm. Hooray for fresh and local produce!
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 drizzle a bit of maple syrup or honey on top.
Is Oatmeal Healthy?
Yes! Oatmeal is loaded with so many health benefits! For starters, oats are a whole grain, low in saturated fat, low in cholesterol, naturally gluten-free and a good source of fiber, thiamin, magnesium, phosphorus and manganese.
Here’s What You Need
- old fashioned rolled oats – I typically use gluten-free old fashioned rolled oats.
- water – I used water for this recipe, but you could totally use any milk of choice. Almond milk would be great!
- fresh peaches – use ripe, in-season peaches for the best results!
- fresh blueberries – you can use frozen blueberries, but fresh is best. If using frozen, just thaw the fruit and follow the recipe as normal.
- vanilla extract – a wonderful flavor enhancer.
- cinnamon – brings all the flavors together.
- ground flaxseed – for some added fiber. Chia seeds would also be a great alternative.
- almond butter – for some healthy fat and protein. I love the combo of almonds and peaches, but any nut or seed butter will work.
tip! For some added protein stir in a scoop of protein powder once your oats have been removed from the heat. If the consistency gets too thick, add more water or milk.
Can I Cook This Blueberry Peach Oatmeal in the Microwave?
I prefer to cook my oatmeal on the stovetop, but you can absolutely microwave it!
Just combine your oats, water, 1/2 cup peaches, 1/4 cup blueberries, vanilla and cinnamon into a microwave safe bowl with plenty of room for the oats to bubble up. Microwave for 1 minute, stir and then microwave at 30 second increments, stirring between each one.
Cook until the oatmeal is the consistency you like – I typically cook mine for about 3 minutes total but you’ll know it’s ready when most of the liquid is absorbed and the oats are hot.

It is absolutely a fact that buildings cannot provide the perfect comfort level in the summer. And that oatmeal looks t-oat-ally awesome!
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! 😉
YEEESS! I love how drippy sunbutter is.
Yum, everything about this breakfast looks absolutely incredible! I love all the ingredients, the color, everything! I will definitely be making this soon!
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 🙂

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. 😉
Oh wow this looks absolutely fabulous! Yum!
My kind of oatmeal! Love peaches & blueberries together.
Oooh this looks amazing! What a delicious way to start the day!
I’ve been loving fresh peaches lately! I haven’t combined them with blueberries yet though!
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. 🙂
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 😀
It will still be just as good with the peaches! Let me know how it turns out. 🙂
Yes! Hooray for local produce!!! Love peaches and blueberries together, Brittany. The bomb!
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!
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!
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
Hi, how many grams of blueberries would you say is in 1/2 a cup please? 🙂
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! 🙂
I eat Old Fashioned Oats most days, I tried this recipe this morning and loved it.
Such a wonderful summer breakfast! I bought some fresh Georgia peaches yesterday and they’re amazing in this oatmeal!
Ahh yay!! So glad you enjoyed this oatmeal, Katie. Thanks so much for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I appreciate it.
This was so delicious! I 1000% recommend, it was so easy and so tasty!
Looking forward to trying this with jarred of peaches I have on hand. I’ve never tried it with blueberry. Yum!
Let me know how it turns out!!
Ok this is so good and does not even need extra sweetener! I added about 6 grams of Orgain vanilla protein powder, only 1/2 a peach and 1/4 cup blueberries (all cooked into the oatmeal). The almond butter pairs so well with peaches and blueberries.
This was the best! Perfect combination of blueberries, peaches and oatmeal. I’m still full 2 1/2 hours later:)
Woo!! So glad to hear you enjoyed this oatmeal, Hope! Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate it!
Hi! What other nut butter would you recommend? I have peanut butter and cashew but I am not sure which one to use Ty!
Hi Cierra – any other nut or seed butter will work, so whichever you’d prefer!
I have oatmeal made on the stover every day and will whisk in an egg towards the end for added protein, it makes the oatmeal really light and fluffy too- it’s my favorite way to eat it!
Yes, I agree it makes it so light and fluffy! Such a delicious addition of protein. Thank you for your review + star rating, I so appreciate it!
