Baked oats turn a bowl of porridge into something closer to a soft, sliceable breakfast bar, and finely chopped peach folded through keeps this one naturally sweet with nothing added.
This is an easy one to make ahead. A batch keeps in the fridge for a few days, ready to warm gently and top with more yogurt each morning.

method
Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Mix the oats, egg, milk, yogurt and cinnamon together in a bowl until combined.
Stir in most of the chopped peach, saving a little to scatter on top.
Pour the mixture into the baking dish and scatter the remaining peach over the top.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until set in the middle and lightly golden on top.
Let it cool until just warm, cutting into a piece and checking the center, before serving with a spoonful of plain yogurt.
chef's tips
- Chop the peach very finely, smaller than you think you need to, so there are no larger soft chunks that could be a choking risk for a toddler still learning to chew thoroughly.
- Canned peaches in juice, drained and chopped, work just as well as fresh when peaches are not in season, and need no added sugar either way.
- This keeps well in the fridge for a few days and reheats gently for a quick breakfast later in the week.
- No added sugar is needed here. The ripe peach and yogurt both bring natural sweetness.
