 Slow Cooker Peach Oatmeal – healthy oatmeal cooked right in the slow cooker with peaches, pecans and cinnamon. Easy and delicious! (Thanks to Del Monte for sponsoring this post)

Get the day started with an easy crock pot breakfast of healthy Slow Cooker Peach Oatmeal! I hate to admit it, but I’m a breakfast skipper. Mornings are hectic and busy around my house and sometimes I just forget to eat.

Studies show that when you do eat a healthy breakfast, your body and brain are recharged, making you more efficient through the morning and afternoon. It’s also been proven that breakfast skippers tend to eat lots more at the next meal, making it harder to lose weight and easier to gain weight. No thanks!

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to maintain a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables. If you have a similar New Year’s goal and tend to be a breakfast skipper, I have the perfect recipe for you!

This Slow Cooker Peach Oatmeal is an easy, healthy and delicious breakfast! AD

Oatmeal! Oats are awesome. They’re a whole grain that’s full of fiber and can lower your cholesterol. Oatmeal by itself is actually quite bland. It’s hard to talk my family into eating it. But when I add in some other healthy ingredients like Del Monte® peaches with pecans, honey and cinnamon… my family comes running!

This Slow Cooker Peach Oatmeal is incredibly tasty but what’s even better is that it’s cooked right in your crock pot! All you have to do is mix the few ingredients together in a mixing bowl and pour it into your slow cooker. A few hours later, you have a healthy, filling, delicious breakfast.

You can eat one serving for breakfast and refrigerate the rest so you have oatmeal for the rest of the week. Just pull it out of the fridge and quickly reheat in the microwave. Or you can be nice and share it with your family. 😉 This breakfast is a winner at our house!

Start the day off with a healthy and EASY breakfast with this Slow Cooker Peach Oatmeal! AD

You know what else is a winner? Del Monte canned goods. Every single canned fruit and vegetable I buy is Del Monte brand. Plain and simple, they just taste better. 90% of their fruits and vegetables are grown in the United States. The peaches I used in this oatmeal were from right here in my state of California!

The majority of fruits and veggies are canned right away when they’re ripe and because of this, the flavor is locked in as well as the vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients. This means better tasting and healthier fruit and veggies for you and your family. This also means buying Del Monte canned goods makes keeping your New Year’s resolutions easier. If you have a pantry stocked with Del Monte, you have a garden right at your fingertips! Eating healthy was never as easy and delicious as it is now.

 Start the New Year right and add some garden quality goodness to your table for delicious & nutritious meals your whole family will enjoy. 

This Slow Cooker Peach Oatmeal will be your new favorite easy breakfast recipe! AD

Notes

The cooking time really depends on your slow cooker! I've made this oatmeal several times and have put it on all different cook times. I've made it on low for 8 hours - right before I went to bed and eaten it as soon as I got up. I've made it on high for 2 hours and it's been cooked perfectly! The key is to know your slow cooker and watch it to see if it's done.

    Great recipe, photos, and video, Jen! I need to do better about eating breakfast too, and this is a really good recipe to start with 🙂 My favorite vegetables to keep stocked are seasoned black beans and petite diced tomatoes since I use them both in so many different things!

    The only canned fruits I have in my pantry are peaches. Can never have enough of them, so you’ve given me another recipe other than peach cobbler to use them with! Thank you so much for this recipe! I can’t wait to use it.

    I love all fruits and veggies. But I never buy canned asparagus because they are so mushy–so we eat them like crazy when they are in season.

    I just made this to have for breakfast this week. I am in love! I have been eating oatmeal a lot lately and this is a much better way to prepare it!
    I also really love recipes that I can use things that are on hand or need to get rid of from my pantry. I used a can of apricots (the best canned fruit), some vanilla almond milk, and some chopped walnuts that I have for a while.

    Jen, this oatmeal sounds incredible. My toddler and I love noshing on overnight oats (you know, the soaked fridge kind). I’d love to try this soon. Thank you for the Visa giveaway too. I tend to keep my fridge stocked with fresh produce, but sometimes have canned corn on hand in the pantry- I love to use it in taco filling!

    We try to have corn and green beans, as well as mandarin oranges on hand.

    I made this last night and had it bake overnight. 8 hours on low was definitely too long for my crockpot, but I wasn’t going to get up in the middle of the night to shut it off after 4 hours, ha! So it overbaked and looked awful but still tasted good! 🙂

    My staples are green beans, tomatoes, pineapple, pears and peaches.
    The oatmeal sounds yummy! I eat oatmeal everyday but have never eaten it with fruit, something I need to try. Instead of sugar I use a little flavored coffee creamer, I bet the hazelnut creamer would be yummy with the peach oatmeal!

    My favorite vegetables to stock in the pantry are sweetcorn, carrots, green beans and beans. I love to choose them all in a variety of recipes but I have to admit I am rather obsessed with green bean casserole at the moment!
    My favorite fruits to store are tangerines, pineapple and peaches! My children love to eat them straight from the cans and I like to use them in trifles.

    I stock a variety of beans in my pantry. They’re heart healthy and very versatile. I eat oatmeal 6 or 7 times a week, I’m going to try your version, too.

    I keep canned tomato products on hand along with canned peaches and pineapple and mandarin oranges (my favorite!)

    I eat oatmeal for breakfast every morning and am getting so tired of it. I think I’ll try your recipe for a new twist; it looks delicious! Thank you.

    When I make oatmeal I have to doctor it up with fruit and nuts too. I’ve never tried the slow cooker oatmeal but you’ve inspired me. I always keep lots of fruit like peaches, pears and mandarin oranges and vegetables, especially corn, green beans and tomatoes.

    Canned green beans are the fave here. We have them pretty often so we keep a bunch in the pantry. My daughter is crazy about peaches, so we always keep some on hand too.

    Canned pineapple, pears or peaches turn ordinary dessert into something special. Canned green beans are something I use a lot, hominy is great for a quick posole’ and canned beans of any variety make almost anything you can think of, from soup to nuts (work great in brownies, etc.). Lots of different varieties of tomatoes, too.

    I have horrible food allergies. So I can always count on De Monte fruit and vegetables to be true to their ingredient listing. I keep peaches, mandarin oranges, and fruit cocktail for my kiddos. I also always have tomatoes, corn and green beans for quick recipes like soups and stews.

    Made this last night for the first time & as soon as I started eating it this morning….it is absolutely delicious!!!!! Tastes similar to peach cobbler. Since we wanted to sleep in this morning & I didn’t want it to be too mushy, I turned the crockpot on “Keep Warm.” Usually you don’t use that till after you’ve cooked something but it was able to cook the oats perfectly. I’ll definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing!!!
