Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 °F (175°C) and grease a 10x6-inch baking dish with vegan butter or oil.

Step 2

Make the flax egg. In a small bowl, whisk the ground flax seeds with the water and let it sit for 5 minutes or until it forms a gel.

Step 3

Stir the dry ingredients together. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, coconut sugar, baking powder, lime zest, and salt.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients. Pour in the applesauce, almond milk, melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, and flax egg. Stir until fully combined, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Toss the peaches. Start by slicing the peaches into thick slices. Then, transfer them to a small bowl and add the coconut sugar and lime juice. Toss to coat. The sugar will help the peaches slightly caramelize.

Step 6

Add the peaches to the baking dish. Arrange the peach slices on top of the oatmeal batter and slightly press them down.

Step 7

Bake. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top appears golden brown and the peaches are tender. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving!

Step 8

You can store this baked oatmeal for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
