- 1 tablespoon melted butter or vegan butter
- 1 egg (or liquid plant egg)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine oats, pecans, brown sugar or maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, egg (or flax egg), and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with peach slices.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and bubbly.

Notes
- Feel free to substitute fresh peaches with frozen or canned peaches (be sure to drain them well).
- For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg or plant-based egg substitute.
- This recipe can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, reduce the baking time slightly.
- Make sure to check the doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean when the oatmeal is fully cooked.
