Things You'll Need:

• Cinnamon
• Pure vanilla extract
• Honey

1. Cut the peaches into small pieces.

2. Place the oats, water, peaches and peach juice in a microwave safe bowl.

3. Microwave the mixture for 2 minutes, then stir the mixture, then microwave it for an additional 2 minutes. Stir again.

Tips & Warnings

• If you have a powerful microwave oven, reduce each cooking interval by 30 seconds.
• Chopped pecans can easily be substituted for walnuts.
• If you like a creamier flavor, stir in a spoonful of powdered milk, or use low-fat powdered milk if you prefer a low-fat breakfast.
• If it's peach season, fresh peaches are delicious in honey nut oatmeal with peaches. Just add a bit of water to replace the juice.
• Change the flavor of honey nut oatmeal with peaches slightly by substituting butterscotch extract in place of vanilla extract.
