Peaches and Chai Gluten-Free Oatmeal Bowl (Dairy Free Creamy Chai Oatmeal)

Mmmmmm… warm, chewy, spicy, sweet peaches and chai gluten-free oatmeal… this is the sweetest kind of breakfast (which is actually not overly sweet).  And it just seems to work for a summer morning before a day in the sunshine or a slow autumn or winter breakfast in a cabin.  This gluten-free oat bowl has healthy fats and protein, it’s dairy-free, and I think it will “stick to your ribs” in the right way, giving nourishing energy to help you get all the things done on your agenda today.  (Or it’ll be the perfect compliment to a cozy reading morning where you sit tight with your coffee and catch up on some much needed rest…)

I love sweet things for breakfast, but I don’t love that starving-an-hour-later feeling.  So for me, having good fats and protein are very important.  The combination of nuts and a creamy dairy-free milk alternative fit the bill; you could absolutely use heavy cream instead.  The candied ginger really takes this recipe over the top, too!  If you don’t do sugar, look for a freeze dried or no-sugar added ginger (Thrive Market is my favorite place to shop for clean, healthy ingredients!).  Don’t have all the ingredients listed below?  Swap for your favorites.  Any milk you choose will add a creamy element to the peaches and chai oat bowl, though the Nutpods has such a great flavor and texture.  Try swapping for pecans or walnuts to change up the flavor.  And if you don’t have the spice blend (you should grab it here, though), you can use pumpkin pie or apple pie spice to give the kick this breakfast needs.

If you’re as in-love with breakfast recipes as I am, here are a few more of my favorites to try:

• Sausage & Egg Breakfast Soup (trust me!!)
• Breakfast Skillet with Turmeric, Kale, & Sweet Potatoes (also Whole30 friendly)
• Grain-Free Breakfast Bowls with Berries, Banana Cream & Cacao
• Dairy-Free Coconut Yogurt Breakfast Parfait with Blueberries, Lemon & Almond
• White Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls with Bacon & Cranberries

Here’s one of my favorite coffees to enjoy with this breakfast.  I’m sure friends are over my bragging about Nutpods, but it really is delicious, doesn’t have that weird chemical-flavor ick, and has no sugar and no weird additives!

Side note: at the time I created this recipe, peaches are totally in-season and available at the little orchard/farm market up the road, and I’m pretty much daily eating juicy peaches while standing over the kitchen sink.  Does anyone else love this as much as I do?  They just taste better that way…

Yummy things used to make this recipe:

• Candied ginger or this candied ginger (or try this no-sugar freeze-dried ginger)
• Nutpods Chai Creamer (or try this Nutpods unsweetened, non-dairy creamer)
• One Degree Sprouted Oats or try these or these
