Ninja Creami Peaches and Cream Oatmeal Frozen Yogurt

Okay, let’s talk about turning your favorite childhood breakfast into a creamy frozen treat. I recently messed around with my Ninja Creami and accidentally created this stupid-easy dessert that tastes like summer vacation. Imagine those peaches-and-cream oatmeal packets… but cold, creamy, and spoonable.

Here’s why this works:

• Uses pantry staples you probably have right now
• Tastes fancy but requires zero cooking skills
• Healthier than ice cream (but you’d never guess)

What You’ll Need

Makes 1 pint (2-3 servings)

The Base:

• 2 packets Quaker peaches & cream oatmeal (trust me – generic brands get weirdly artificial)
• 8 oz hot tap water (not boiling – think “bathwater warm”)
• ⅓ cup vanilla yogurt (I used full-fat, but Greek yogurt works too)
• 4 oz milk (dairy or oat milk both rock here)

The Good Stuff:

• ¼ cup canned peaches, chopped (save the juice!)
• Optional: 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (makes it taste $$$)

Let’s Do This

1. Oatmeal Prep (5 minutes)
Mix oatmeal and water in a bowl. Let sit 10 minutes until it looks like glue. Cool completely – I stick mine in the freezer for 5 minutes while prepping other ingredients.

2. Blend It Up
Dump cooled oatmeal, yogurt, and milk into a blender. Blitz until smooth like a latte. Watch for oatmeal clumps – they turn into icy bits later!

3. Freeze Your Patience
Pour into Creami pint, leaving ½” space. Freeze FLAT for 24 hours. Pro tip: Wipe the rim clean – frozen gunk jams the lid.

4. The Magic Button
After freezing:

• Melt the ice dome on top with a hot water bag
• Scrape flat with a butter knife
• Press “Lite Ice Cream”

Uh-oh, it’s crumbly?

• Dig a hole in the center
• Add 1 tbsp peach juice
• Re-spin on “Ice Cream”

5. Mix-In Moment
Stir in peaches using 2-3 “Mix-In” pulses. Don’t overdo it – chunky bits are the best part!

Tips From My Kitchen Fails

• Too icy? Add extra yogurt next time
• Gritty texture? You didn’t blend the oatmeal enough
• Serving idea: Crush oatmeal cookies on top for crunch

Swaps & Ideas

• Vegan: Coconut yogurt + almond milk
• Fancy version: Swap peaches for grilled pineapple
• Meal prep: Make 3-4 pints on Sunday

Final Thought:

This recipe’s forgiving. My first batch looked like snow cone mush – a quick re-spin fixed it. Now I’m addicted to Creami-ing everything… last week’s leftover coffee became amazing froyo!
